English translation

1553. It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Musayyab said: "I was present with Ibn 'Umar at a funeral. When the body was placed in the niche-grave) he said, 'Bismillâh wa fi sabil-illâh wa 'alâ millati rasul-illâh' (In the Name of Allâh, for the sake of Allâh and according to the religion of the Messenger of Allâh). When he started to place the bricks in the niche-grave he said: 'Allâhmma ajirhâ min ash-shaitânî wa min 'adhâbil-qabr. Allâhumma jâfil-arda 'an janbaihâ, wa sa'id ruhahâ, wa laqqihâ minka ridwânâ (O Allâh, protect him from Satan and from the torment of the grave; O Allâh, keep the earth away from his two sides and take his soul up and grant him pleasure from Yourself).' I said: 'O Ibn 'Umar, is this something that you heard from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ or is it your own words?' He said: 'I could have said something like that, but this is something that I heard from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.'" (Da'if)

1553 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكَلْبِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِدْرِيسُ الْأَوْدِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ: حَضَرْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَهَا فِي اللَّحْدِ، قَالَ: «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ» فَلَمَّا أُخِذَ فِي تَسْوِيَةِ اللَّبِنِ عَلَى اللَّحْدِ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، اللَّهُمَّ جَافِ الْأَرْضَ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهَا، وَصَعِّدْ رُوحَهَا، وَلَقِّهَا مِنْكَ رِضْوَانًا» قُلْتُ: يَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَشَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَمْ قُلْتَهُ بِرَأْيِكَ؟ قَالَ: «إِنِّي إِذًا لَقَادِرٌ عَلَى الْقَوْلِ، بَلْ شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
