1037. Ash-Shaibānī narrated that Ash-Sha'bi said: "I was informed by one who saw the Prophet ﷺ: He (ﷺ) saw a solitary grave, so he lined his Companions (behind him) to pray over it." It was said to him (Ash-Sha'bi): "Who informed you?" He said: "Ibn 'Abbās." (Ṣaḥīḥ) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Anas, Buraidah, Yazid bin Thābit, Abū Hurairah, 'Āmir bin Rabī'ah, Abū Qatādah, and Suhail bin Hunaif. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. It is the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad, and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge say that Salāt is not to be performed over the grave. This is the view of Mālik bin Anas. ('Abdullāh) Ibn Al-Mubārak said: "When the deceased is buried and Ṣalāt has not been performed for him, then the Ṣalāt is performed at the grave." So Ibn Al-Mubārak held the view that the Ṣalāt could be held at the grave. Aḥmad and Ishāq said that the Ṣalāt may be held at the grave for up to a month. They said: "The most that we have heard about it is (what is reported) from Ibn Al-Musayyab, that the Prophet ﷺ prayed at the grave of Umm Sa'd bin 'Ubādah after a month."
