190. It was narrated that Abū Ishâq said: "I heard Nājiyah bin Ka'b narrating from 'Alî that he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Abū Tālib has died.' He said: 'Go and bury him.' He said: 'He died as an idolater.' He said: 'Go and bury him.' ('Alî said:) 'When I had buried him I went back to him and he said to me: 'Perform Ghisl.'" (Hasan)
190 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ نَاجِيَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ مَاتَ. فَقَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ». قَالَ: إِنَّهُ مَاتَ مُشْرِكًا. قَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ». فَلَمَّا وَارَيْتُهُ رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: «اغْتَسِلْ»

1. This report categorically proves that Abû Tâlib died in the state of disbelief. After all, whose testimony is stronger than that of a son and of a nephew? 2. If someone dies in a state of disbelief, in a state of still associating partners with Allâh, it is incumbent on his kin to bury his corpse. But in his shrouding and burial, Islamic practice should not be employed. Simply after being washed and covered - but not with the same rituals with which a Muslim is washed - the corpse of a disbeliever should be put deeply into the ground and covered with soil.
