1027. Ṭalḥah bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Awf narrated: "Ibn 'Abbās performed Ṣalāt for a funeral and he recited Fātiḥatil-Kitāb. So I asked him about it and he said: 'It is from the Sunnah' or, 'From the completeness of the Sunnah.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They preferred to recite Fātiḥatil-Kitāb after the first Takbīr. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge said that there is no recitation during the Ṣalāt for the funeral, it only consist of praising Allāh, sending Ṣalāt upon the Prophet ﷺ, and supplications for the deceased. This is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī and others among the people of Al-Kūfah. (Ṭalhah bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Awf is the son of the brother of 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf and Az-Zuhri reports from him.)

١٠٢٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ‌سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ ‌طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؛ «أَنَّ» ‌ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ - أَوْ مِنْ تَمَامِ السُّنَّةِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ؛ يَخْتَارُونَ أَنْ يُقْرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ بَعْدَ التَّكْبِيرَةِ الْأُولَى، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: لَا يُقْرَأُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ ثَنَاءٌ عَلَى اللهِ وَالصَّلَاةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالدُّعَاءُ لِلْمَيِّتِ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ. وَطَلْحَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ هُوَ ابْنُ أَخِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، رَوَى عَنْهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ.

Commentary

It is proven from various narrations, that in a funeral prayer, after the first Takbīr Surat Al-Fātiḥah and some other part of the Noble Qur'ān is recited but it is not clear from any narration whether supplications of praise are recited or not.
