[2199] 59 - (948) It was narrated from Kuraib, the freed slave of 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās that a son of 'Abdullāh bin ‘Abbâs died in Qudaid or ‘Usfân, and he said: “O Kuraib, see how many people you can gather together for him.” I went out, and found that some people had gathered for him, so I told him and he said: “Would you say that they are forty?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “Bring him out, for I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: ‘There is no Muslim man who dies and forty men attend his funeral prayer, not associating anything with Allâh, but Allâh will accept their intercession for him.’”
