977. Umm Salamah narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to us: 'When you attend to the sick or dying then say only good, for indeed the angels say "Āmin" to what you say.'" She said: "When Abū Salāmah died I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Abū Salāmah has died.' He said: 'Then say: "O Allāh forgive me and him, and give me a good replacement for him.'" She said: "I said that, and Allāh gave a replacement that was better than him: The Messenger of Allāh." (Šāhih) Abū 'Eisā said: Shaqīq (one of the narrators) is Ibn Salāmah, Abū Wā'il Al-Asādī. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Umm Salāmah is a Hasan Šāhih Hadīth. It is recommended to instruct the sick at the time of death to say Lā Ilāha Illallāh. Some of the people of knowledge said that when he says that one time, as long as he does not say anything after that then there is no need to coax him again nor get him to say more. It has been reported from Ibn Al-Mubārak that when he was in the near his death a man began to coax him to say Lā Ilāha Illallāh and to say it many times. So 'Abdullāh said to him: "When I say it one time, that is enough as long as I do not talk afterwards." 'Abdullāh was referring to what has been reported from the Prophet ﷺ, saying: "Whoever's last words are Lā Ilāha Illallāh, he will enter Paradise."

Indeed I hope in Allāh and I fear from my sins." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "These two will not be gathered in a worshipper's heart at a time such as this, except that Allāh will grant him what he hopes and make him safe from what he fears." (Hasan) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb. Some of them have reported this Hadīth in Mursal form from Thābit from the Prophet ﷺ.

٩٨٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَكَّامُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ ‌وَهَارُونُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ‌عَنْبَسَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي حَمْزَةَ ، عَنْ ‌إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ ‌عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ ؛ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالنَّعْيَ، فَإِنَّ النَّعْيَ مِنْ عَمَلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ». قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: وَالنَّعْيُ أَذَانٌ بِالْمَيِّتِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ.

985. (Another chain) from 'Abdullāh (from the Prophet ﷺ) similar (to no 984), but he did not narrate it in Marfū' form, and he did not mention in it: "An-Na'i is announcing of one's death." (Da'if) (Abū 'Eisā said:) This is more correct than the narration of 'Anbasah from Abū Ḥamzah (no. 984). Abū Ḥamzah is Ma'imūn Al-A'war, and he is not strong according to the people of Hadīth. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Abdullāh is a (Hasan) Gharīb Hadīth. Some of the people of knowledge disliked An-Na'i. To them, An-Na'i is when it is announced among the people that so-and-so has died, so that they can attend his funeral. Some of the people of knowledge said that there is no harm in a man informing his relatives and his brethren. It has been related that Ibrāhīm said: "There is no harm if a man informs his relatives."

990. Umm ‘Aṭiyah narrated: “One of the daughters of the Prophet ﷺ died, so he said: ‘Wash her an odd number of times; three, or five, or more than that as you see fit. Wash her with water and Sīdr, and in the last (washing) add camphor, or something from camphor. When you are finished then inform me.’ When we finished we informed him so he gave us his waist-sheet and said: ‘Wrap her in it.’” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Hushaim said: “In the narration of others besides these people – and I do not know perhaps Hishām was one of them – she said: 'We entwined her hair in three braids.'" Hushaim said: "I think he said: 'We put them (braids) behind her (head).'" Hushaim said: "Khālid narrated to us, among the people, that Ḥafṣah, and Muḥammad (narrated) that Umm 'Aṭiyyah said: 'And we began with the right side and the places of Wudu'.'" And there is something about this topic from Umm Sulaim. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Umm 'Aṭiyyah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. It has been reported that Ibrāhīm An-Nakha'ī said: "Ghusl for the dead is like Ghusl for Janābah." Mālik bin Anas said: "To us, there is no fixed number of times for the washing, and similarly, there is no well known description, rather it is done to clean." Ash-Shāfi'ī said: "In summary, Mālik's view is that it is done for washing and cleaning, and when the dead is cleaned (once) by clear water, or other water, then such washing is sufficient. But to me it is better to wash him three times or more, and that one not be washed less than three times, since the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Wash her three or five (times)." If they clean with less than three times, it will be acceptable. And, he did not think that the saying of the Prophet ﷺ meant to clean three or five times, so he did not consider the number of times binding." And this is what the Fuquhā' said, and they are more knowledgeable about the meaning of the Hadīth.

(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali and 'Aishah. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. It has been reported in Mawqūf form from Abū Hurairah. The people of knowledge have differed in the case of one who has washed the deceased. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said that when one washes the deceased, then he is required to perform Ghusl. Some of them said that he is required to perform Wudu' Mālik bin Anas said: "Ghusl is recommended for the one who washed the deceased, and I do not think that it is required." This is what Ash-Shāfi'i said. Aḥmad said: "Whoever washes the deceased, I believe that it is not required for him to perform Ghusl, as for Wudū' it is the least of what they say (is required) about it." Ishāq said: "He must perform Wudū'." (He said:) It has been reported that 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak said: "Neither Ghusl nor Wudū' are required for the one who washed the deceased."

Sufyān Ath-Thawrī said: "A man should be shrouded in three cloths, it can be a shirt and two wraps if one wills, or three wraps if one wills." One cloth is acceptable if they do not find two cloths, and two cloths is acceptable, and three is better to them for those who find them. This is the saying of Ash-Shāfī, Ahmad and Ishāq. They say that the woman is shrouded in five cloths.

And Al-Anwā' (saying): 'We got rain because of this or that celestial positioning.'" (Hasan) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadith is Hasan.

1002. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The deceased is punished for the crying of his family over him.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn ‘Umar and ‘Imrān bin Ḥuṣain. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of ‘Umar is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. There are those among the people of knowledge who disliked crying over the deceased. They said: “The deceased is punished for the crying of his family over him.” So they followed this Hadīth. Ibn Al-Mubārak said: “I hope that if he (i.e., the deceased) had prohibited them (from doing so) during his life, then nothing will happen to him due to that.”

He has not lied, but he is mistaken. It is only that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said about a Jewish man who died: 'The deceased is being punished and his family is crying over him.'" (Hasan) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, Qarāzah bin Ka'b, Abū Hurairah, Ibn Mas'ūd and Usāmah bin Zaid.

1009. Az-Zuhri said: "The Prophet ﷺ, Abū Bakr, and 'Umar would walk in front of the funeral." Az-Zuhri said: "Sālim informed me that his father would walk in front of the funeral." (Hasan) He said: There is something on this topic from Anas. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn 'Umar was reported like this from Ibn Juraij, Ziyād bin Sa'd, and others, from Az-Zuhri, from Sālim, from his father, and it is similar to the narration of Ibn 'Uyainah.[1] Ma'mar, Yūnus bin Yazīd, Mālik and others among the Huffāz reported it from Az-Zuhri: "The Prophet ﷺ would walk in front of the funeral." (Az-Zuhri said: "Sālim informed me that his father would walk in front of the funeral). All of the people of Hadīth thought that the Mursal narration about this is the most correct. Abū 'Eisā said: I heard Yaḥya bin Mūsā saying: "I heard 'Abdur-Razzāq saying: 'Ibn Al-Mubārak said: "The Hadīth of Az-Zuhri about this, which is Mursal, is more correct than the Hadīth of Ibn 'Uyainah."

Abū 'Eisā said: Hammām bin Yaḥya reported this Hadīth from Ziyād – and he is Ibn Sa'd – and Maṣ'ūd, Bakr, and Sufyān from Az-Zuhri, from Sālim, from his father. And the only Sufyān that Hammām reports from is Sufyān bin 'Uyainah. The people of knowledge differ over walking in front of the funeral. Some of the people of knowledge, among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, thought that walking in front of the funeral is more virtuous. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'ī, and Aḥmad. (He said: The Hadīth of Anas on this topic is not preserved).

1011. Yahya, the Imām of Banū Taimillāh, narrated from Abū Mājid from ‘Abdullāh bin Mas’ūd who said: “We asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about walking behind the funeral. He said: ‘Less than a trot.’[1] For if he was good, then you will be hastening him to it (goodness), and if he was evil, then it is only an inhabitant of the Fire that is being taken away.” The funeral is (to be) followed. The one who precedes it shall not have the reward of those who follow it.”[2] (Da’if) Abū ‘Eisā said: We do not know of this as a narration of ‘Abdullāh bin Mas’ūd except from this route. (He said:) I heard Muḥammad bin Ismā’il grading this narration of Abū Mājid weak. Muḥammad said: “Al-Ḥumaidī said: ‘Ibn ‘Uyainah said: “Yahya was asked about who this Abū Mājid was. He said: “A person who appeared unexpectedly and he narrated to us.”’ Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others followed this. They thought that walking behind (the funeral) was more virtuous. It was the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī and Ishāq. Abū Mājid is an unknown person, he has two Aḥādīth from Ibn Mas’ūd. Yahya, the Imām of Banū Taimillāh is trustworthy. His Kunyah is Abul-Hārith, and they call him Yāhya Al-Jābir, and they also call him Yāhya Al-Mujbir. He is from Al-Kūfah, Shu'bah, Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Abū Al-Aḥwaṣ, and Sufyān bin 'Uyainah report from him.

1012. Thawbān narrated: "We went with the Prophet ﷺ (following) a funeral. He saw people riding so he said: 'Are you not ashamed? Indeed Allāh's angels are on their feet, while you are on the backs of your beasts'" (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Al-Mughīrah bin Shu'bah and Jābir bin Samurah. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Thawbān has been reported from him in Mawqūf form [Muḥammad said: "The Mawqūf (version) is more correct."]

1016. Anas bin Mālik narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to Hamzah on the Day of Uhud, he stood over him and saw that he had been mutilated. He said: Had it not been that Ṣafiyah would be distressed, then I would have left him to be eaten by the beasts until he was gathered on the Day of Judgement from their stomachs." He said: "Then he called for a Namirah to shroud him with. When it was extended over his head, it left his feet exposed, and when it was extended over his feet, it left his head exposed." He said: "There were many dead and few cloths." He said: "One, two and three men were shrouded in one cloth and buried in one grave." He said: "So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asking which of them knew the most Qur'ān, so he could put him toward the Qiblah." He said: "So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ buried them and he did not perform (funeral prayers) for them.” (Da’if) Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of Anas is a Hasan Gharib Hadīth. We do not know of it as a Hadīth of Anas except through this route. (And An-Namirah is an old garment.) Usāmah bin Zaid has been contradicted in this narration. Al-Laith bin Sa’d reported it from Ibn Shihāb, from ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Ka’b bin Mālik, from Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh bin Zaid. And, Ma’mar reported it from Az-Zuhri, from ‘Abdullāh bin Tha’labah, from Jābir. We do not know of anyone who mentioned it as a narration of Az-Zuhri from Anas, except for Usāmah bin Zaid. I asked Muḥammad about this Hadīth, and he said: “The Hadīth of Al-Laith from Ibn Shihāb, from ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Ka’b bin Mālik bin Jābir is more correct.”

1017. Anas bin Mālik narrated:“The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would visit the sick, attend the funerals, ride a donkey, accept the invitation of a slave, and on the Day of Banū Quraizah he was on a donkey muzzled with a cord of fibers and a pack-saddle made of fibers.” (Ḍaʿif) Abū ‘Eisā said: We do not know this Hadith except from the narration of Muslim from Anas. Muslim Al-Aʿwar was graded weak. His name is Muslim bin Kaisān Al-Mulāʾi, and he has been criticized. Shuʿbah and Sufyān report from him.

1018. ‘Aishah narrated: “When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ died, they disagreed over where to bury him. So Abū Bakr said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying something which I have not forgotten, he said: “Allāh does not take (the life of) a Prophet except at the location in which He wants him to be buried.”’ So they buried him at the spot of his bed.” (Sahih) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadith is Gharib. ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Bakr Al-Mulaikī was graded weak because of his memory. But this Hadith has been reported through routes other than this one. Ibn 'Abbās reported it from Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq, from the Prophet ﷺ (as well).

1023. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā said: "Zaid bin Arqam would say four Takbīr for our funerals. (Once) he said five Takbīr for a funeral so we asked him about that and he said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would say those Takbīr.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Zaid bin Arqam is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others held the view that there should be five Takbīr for the funeral (prayer). Aḥmad and Ishāq said: When the Imām says five Takbīr for the funeral, then he is to follow the Imām.

1024. Abū Ibrāhīm Al-Ashhālī narrated from his father who said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would perform the Ṣalāt for the funeral he would say: (Allāhummaghfir li-hayyinā wa mayyitinā, wa shāhidinā wa ghā'ibinā, wa saḡīrinā wa kabīrinā, wa dhakarinā wa unthānā) 'O Allāh! Forgive our living and our deceased, our present and our absent, our young and our old, our male and our female.'" (Sahīh) Yāhya said: "Abū Salamah bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān narrated from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, what is similar to that, but he added: (Allāhumma man ahyyaitahu minnā fa ahyihi 'alal-Islām, wa man tawaffaitahu minnā fatawaffahu 'alal-Imān) 'O Allāh! Whoever among us You cause to live, make him live upon Islām, and whomever among us You cause to die, make him die upon faith.'" (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf, 'Aishah, Abū Qatādah, Jābir. and 'Awf bin Mālik. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of the father of Abū Ibrāhīm is a Ḥasan Ṣahīh Hadīth. Hishām Ad-Dastawā'ī and 'Alī bin Al-Mubārak reported this Hadīth from Yāhyā bin Abī Kathīr from Abū Salamah bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān, from the Prophet ﷺ, in Mursal form. ‘Ikrimah bin ‘Ammār reported it from Yahyā bin Abī Kathīr, from Abū Salamah, from ‘Aishah, from the Prophet ﷺ. But the narration of ‘Ikrimah bin ‘Ammār is not preserved. Sometimes ‘Ikrimah is mistaken with the narrations of Yahyā. It has also been reported from Yahyā bin Abī Kathīr, from ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. Abū ‘Eīsā said: I heard Muḥammad saying: “The narration of this Hadīth of Yahyā bin Abī Kathīr that is the most correct is the one from Abū Ibrāhīm Al-Ash-hali, from his father.” He said: And I asked him about the name of Abū Ibrāhīm Al-Ash-hali, but he did not know it.

Abū 'Eisā said: The chain for the Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is not that strong. Ibrāhīm bin 'Uthmān is Abū Shaibah Al-Wāsītī who is Munkar in Hadīth. What is Ṣaḥīḥ is that Ibn 'Abbās said: "The recitation of Fāṭihatil-Kitāb for the funeral (prayer) is from the Sunnah."

So I asked him about it and he said: 'It is from the Sunnah' or, 'From the completeness of the Sunnah.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They preferred to recite Fātiḥatil-Kitāb after the first Takbīr. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge said that there is no recitation during the Ṣalāt for the funeral, it only consist of praising Allāh, sending Ṣalāt upon the Prophet ﷺ, and supplications for the deceased. This is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī and others among the people of Al-Kūfah. (Ṭalhah bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Awf is the son of the brother of 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf and Az-Zuhri reports from him.)

1030. 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir Al-Juhnī narrated: "There are three times that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited us from performing Salāt in, or burying our dead in: When the sun's rising appears until it has risen up; when the sun is at the zenith until it passes, and when the sun begins its setting, until it has set." (Sahīh) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others; they dislike performing Salāt for the funeral during these times. Ibn Al-Mubārak said: The meaning of this Hadīth: 'burying our dead in' is Salāt for the funeral. And it is disliked to perform Salāt for the funeral when the sun is rising and when it is setting, and at the middle of the daytime until the sun passes the meridian. This is the saying of Ahmad and Ishāq. Ash-Shāfi'i said: "There is no harm in performing Salāt for the funeral during the times in which it is disliked to perform Salāt."

This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They said that the child is prayed for (i.e., funeral prayers) even if it has not fully developed, once it is known that it has formed. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishāq.

1032. Jābir narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The child is not prayed over, nor does he inherit, nor is he inherited from until one is sure he was alive at birth." (Da'if) Abū 'Eisā said: The people are confused in the case of this Hadīth. Some of them reported it from Abū Az-Zubair, from Jābir, from the Prophet ﷺ in Marfū' form. Ash'ath bin Sawwār and others, reported it from Abū Az-Zubair, from Jābir in Mawqūf form. (Muḥammad bin Ishāq reported it from 'Aṭā' bin Abī Rabāh, from Jābir in Mawqūf form.) It is as if this is more correct than the Marfū' narration. Some of the people of knowledge followed this, they said that the child is not prayed over until one is sure he was alive at birth. This is the view of (Sufyān) Ath-Thawrī and Ash-Shāfi'i.

1033. ‘Aishah narrated: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ performed Ṣalāt over Suhail bin Al-Baiḍā’ in the Masjid.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. Ash-Shāfi‘ī said: “Mālik said that the funeral prayer is not performed over the deceased in the Masjid.” Ash-Shāfi‘ī said: “The deceased is prayed over in the Masjid.” And he argued using this Hadīth.

1034. Abū Ghālib narrated: “I prayed for the funeral of a man with Anas bin Mālik, so he stood parallel to his head. Then they came with the body of a woman from the Quraish. They said: ‘O Abū Ḥamzah perform the prayer for her.’ So he stood parallel to her waist. Al-‘Alā’ bin Ziyād said to him: 'Is this how you saw the Messenger of Allāh standing in the place for the funeral as you did for her, and for place that you stood for the man?' He said: 'Yes.' When he was finished he said: 'Remember (this).'" (Hasan) There is something about this topic from Samurah. Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadith of Anas is a Hasan Hadith. Others have reported it similarly from Hammām. Waki' reported this Hadith from Hammām but he made a mistake in it, he said: "from Ghālib, from Anas" and what is correct is "from Abū Ghālib." Abdul-Wārith bin Sa'eed, and others, reported this Hadith from Abū Ghālib the same as Hammām did. They disagree over the name of this Abū Ghālib. Some of them said his name is Nāfi' and they also say it was Rāfi'. Some of the people of knowledge followed this, and it is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq.

1035. Samurah bin Jundab narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ prayed over a woman, so he stood at her middle." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadith is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Shu'bah reported it from Al-Ḥusain Al-Mu'allim.

1036. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ka'b bin Mālik narrated that Jābir bin 'Abdullāh informed him that the Prophet ﷺ had put two men together in one cloth from those who were killed at (the battle of) Uḥud, then he said: "Which of them memorized the more of the Qur'ān?" When one of them was indicated to him, he put him in the Lahd (first) and said: "I am a witness for these people on the Day of Judgement." And he ordered that they be buried in their blood, and that they not be prayed over, nor washed. (Ṣaḥīḥ) There is something on this topic from Anas bin Mālik. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Jābir is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This Hadīth has been reported from Az-Zuhri, from 'Abdullāh bin Tha'labah bin Abī Ṣughair, from the Prophet ﷺ. Some of (the narrators) mentioned that it was from Jābir. The people of knowledge differed over Salāt for the martyr. Some of them said the martyr is not prayed over, and this is the saying of the people of Al-Madinah, and it is also the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i and Ahmad. Some of them said that the martyr is prayed over, and for proof, they used the Hadīth of the Prophet ﷺ that he prayed over Hamzah. This is the view of Ath-Thawri and the people of Al-Kūfah, and it is the view of Ishāq.

1037. Ash-Shaibānī narrated that Ash-Sha'bi said: "I was informed by one who saw the Prophet ﷺ: He (ﷺ) saw a solitary grave, so he lined his Companions (behind him) to pray over it." It was said to him (Ash-Sha'bi): "Who informed you?" He said: "Ibn 'Abbās." (Ṣaḥīḥ) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Anas, Buraidah, Yazid bin Thābit, Abū Hurairah, 'Āmir bin Rabī'ah, Abū Qatādah, and Suhail bin Hunaif. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. It is the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad, and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge say that Salāt is not to be performed over the grave. This is the view of Mālik bin Anas. ('Abdullāh) Ibn Al-Mubārak said: "When the deceased is buried and Ṣalāt has not been performed for him, then the Ṣalāt is performed at the grave." So Ibn Al-Mubārak held the view that the Ṣalāt could be held at the grave. Aḥmad and Ishāq said that the Ṣalāt may be held at the grave for up to a month. They said: "The most that we have heard about it is (what is reported) from Ibn Al-Musayyab, that the Prophet ﷺ prayed at the grave of Umm Sa'd bin 'Ubādah after a month."

He ('Imrān) said: "We stood and lined up just as the deceased is lined up for, and we prayed for him just as the deceased is prayed for." (Sahih) There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah, Jābir bin 'Abdullāh, Abū Sa'eed, Ḥudhaifah bin Asīd, and Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh.

1040. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever performs the funeral prayer then he will get a reward equal to a Qirāt. Whoever follows it until it is buried then he will get a reward equal to two Qirāt, one of them, or the least of them, is similar to Uḥud (mountain)." This was mentioned to Ibn 'Umar, so he sent a message to 'Aishah to ask her about that, and she said: "Abū Hurairah has told the truth." So Ibn 'Umar said: "We have missed many Qirāt." (Hasan) He said: There are narrations on this topic from Al-Barā', 'Abdullāh bin Mughaffal, 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd, Abu Sa'eed, Ubayy bin Ka'b, Ibn 'Umar, and Thawbān.

1043. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up (for it). Whoever follows it, then do not sit down until it is put down." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Sa'eed on this topic is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishāq. They said the one following the funeral procession is not to sit down until the men put it down from their necks. It has been reported from some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, that they would go ahead of the funeral procession so that they could sit down before the funeral procession caught up to them. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i.

1044. Mas'ūd bin Al-Ḥakīm narrated that standing for the funeral (procession) until it is put down was mentioned, and 'Alī bin Abī Tālib said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood, then (later) he sat." (Ṣaḥīḥ) There are narrations on this topic from Al-Ḥasan bin 'Alī, and Ibn 'Abbās. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of 'Alī is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth, regarding which there are narrations from four of the Tābi'īn narrating it from each other. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. Ash-Shāfi'ī said: "This is the most correct thing on this topic." This Ḥadīth abrogates the first Ḥadīth: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up [for it]." Aḥmad said: "If he wants, he stands, and if he wants, he does not stand." His proof is that it has been reported that the Prophet ﷺ stood, then sat, and this is what Ishāq bin Ibrāhīm said. (Abū 'Eisā said:) As for the saying of 'Alī: That the Prophet ﷺ stood for the funeral and then sat, he means that the Prophet ﷺ would stand when he saw a funeral (procession), then he did not do so later, so he would not stand when he saw the funeral (procession).

Jābir bin Samurah narrated: “A man killed himself, so the Prophet ﷺ did not perform Salāt over him.” (Sahīh) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan (Sahīh), and the people of knowledge differ about this.

Ahmad said that the Imām is not to pray over the one who killed himself, but those besides the Imām may pray over him.

(Sahih) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Jābir, Salamah bin Al-Akwa’, and Asmā’ bint Yazīd. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Qatādah is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.

1070. Abū Hurairah narrated: “A deceased man would be brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while a debt was due upon him. So he would say: ‘Has he left anything to pay off his debt?’ If he was told that he had left something to pay it then he would pray (the funeral prayer) for him. Otherwise he would tell the Muslims: 'Pray for your companion.' So when Allāh granted him the victories, he stood and said: 'I am more worthy in the case of the believers than they themselves are. So whoever among the believers dies and leaves a debt behind, then it is up to me to fulfill it. And whoever leaves wealth behind, then it is for his heirs.'" (Sahih) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Šāhih. Yaḥya bin Bukair and others have reported it from Al-Laith bin Sa'd [similarly to the narration of 'Abdullāh bin Šāliḥ (a narrator in the chain of this Hadīth)].

1071. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When the deceased – or he said when one of you – is buried, two angels, black and blue (eyed) come to him. One of them is called Al-Munkar, and the other An-Nakīr. They say: 'What did you used to say about this man?' So he says what he was saying (before death) 'He is Allāh's slave and His Messenger. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh and that Muḥammad is His slave and His Messenger.' So they say: 'We knew that you would say this.' Then his grave is expanded to seventy by seventy cubits, then it is illuminated for him. Then it is said to him: 'Sleep.' So he says: 'Can I return to my family to inform them?' They say: 'Sleep as a newly-wed, whom none awakens but the dearest of his family.' Until Allāh resurrects him from his resting place." "If he was a hypocrite he would say: 'I heard people saying something, so I said the same; I do not know.' So they say: 'We knew you would say that.' So the earth is told: 'Constrict him.' So it constricts around him, squeezing his ribs together. He continues being punished like that until Allāh resurrects him from his resting place." (Hasan) There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali, Zaid bin Thābit, Ibn 'Abbās, Al-Barā' bin 'Azīb, Abū Ayyūb, Anas, Jābir, 'Aishah, and Abū Sa'eed. All of them reported something from the Prophet ﷺ about the punishment in the grave. Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Hasan Gharīb Hadīth.

(Saḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Gharīb, and I do not think that its chain is connected.

١٠٧٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: يَا عَلِيُّ،» ثَلَاثٌ لَا تُؤَخِّرْهَا؛ الصَّلَاةُ إِذَا أَتَتْ، وَالْجِنَازَةُ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ، وَالْأَيِّمُ إِذَا وَجَدْتَ لَهَا كُفُؤًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَمَا أَرَى إِسْنَادَهُ بِمُتَّصِلٍ.

1076. Abū Barzah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever consoles a bereaved mother, he will be clothed with a Burd[1] in Paradise." (Da'if) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Gharīb and its chain is not strong. [1] See nos. 859 and 996.

١٠٧٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْمُؤَدِّبُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنَا ‌أُمُّ الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ ‌مُنْيَةَ بِنْتِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ ، عَنْ جَدِّهَا ‌أَبِي بَرْزَةَ ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ عَزَّى» ثَكْلَى كُسِيَ بُرْدًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ.

English translation

1077. Abū Hurairah narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, 'Allāhu Akbar' over the deceased, so he raised his hands with the first Takbir, and he placed his right (hand) over his left." (Da'if) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except from this route. The people of knowledge differ over this. Most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others held the view that the man is to raise his hands for every Takbir for the funeral (prayer). This is the view of Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge said that the hands are not to be raised except in the first Takbir. This is the saying of Ath-Thawri and the people of Al-Kūfah. It has been mentioned that Ibn Al-Mubārak said about the funeral prayer: "He does not put his right over his left." But some of the people of knowledge held the view that the right is put over the left just as it is for Ṣalāt. Abū 'Eisā said: Holding is better to me.

١٠٧٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبَانَ الْوَرَّاقُ ، عَنْ ‌يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْلَى، عَنْ ‌أَبِي فَرْوَةَ يَزِيدَ بْنِ سِنَانٍ ، عَنْ ‌زَيْدٍ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ - عَنِ ‌الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَبَّرَ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فِي أَوَّلِ تَكْبِيرَةٍ» وَوَضَعَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي هَذَا، فَرَأَى أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ الرَّجُلُ يَدَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: لَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِلَّا فِي أَوَّلِ مَرَّةٍ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ. وَذُكِرَ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ: لَا يَقْبِضُ يَمِينَهُ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ. وَرَأَى بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يَقْبِضَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ. يَقْبِضُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ.
