393 - أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ يَعْنِي الْمُعَلِّمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أُمِّ كَعْبٍ مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فِي وَسَطِهَا»

Commentary
1. The objective of the chapter is to demonstrate that although a woman in the state of postnatal bleeding may not herself perform the ritual prayer, in the event of her death, the funeral prayer will be performed over her. 2. In the funeral of a female, the Imâm (the one who leads the funeral prayer) should stand facing the middle of her bier.
