998. 'Abdullāh bin Ja'far said:
“When the news of the death of Ja’far came, the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Prepare some food for the family of Ja’far, for indeed something has happened to them that will keep them busy.’” (Hasan)
Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadith is Hasan (Ṣaḥīh).
Some of the people of knowledge considered it recommended to send something to the family of the deceased due to them being occupied as a result of their calamity. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi‘ī.
(Abū ‘Eisā said:) Ja’far bin Khālid is Ibn Sārrah, and he is trustworthy. Ibn Juraij reports from him.

Commentary
This narration proves that it is an obligation upon neighbors or friends to prepare food for the deceased family, because due to their own perplexed and unavoidable situation they are unable to cook food for themselves.
