English translation

2008. It was narrated that 'Alī said: "I said to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Your paternal uncle, the old misguided man has died. Who will bury him?' He said: 'Go and bury your father, then do not do anything until you come to me.' So I buried him then I came, and he told me to perform Ghusl and he prayed for me, and he mentioned a supplication that I do not remember." (Hasan)

Arabic text

2006 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَقَ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ مَاتَ فَمَنْ يُوَارِيهِ؟ قَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَوَارِ أَبَاكَ، وَلَا تُحْدِثَنَّ حَدَثًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي»، فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ، فَأَمَرَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ، وَدَعَا لِي، وَذَكَرَ دُعَاءً لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ

Commentary

"A disbelieving relative shall also be buried, particularly so when the deceased is someone's father, then he would be buried respectfully. (And bear them company in this world's life with kindness - 31:15). However, the enshrouding and the burial according to the Sunnah, would be conducted for Muslims only. Moreover, the grave of an unbeliever should be apart in a place farther than the graves of the Muslims.
