Hadith 3185
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : مَرِضَ رَجُلٌ ، فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَجَاءَ جَارُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ ، قَالَ : " وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ ؟ قَالَ : أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ ، فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ ، فَرَجَعَ ، فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ : انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبِرْهُ ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَرَآهُ قَدْ نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ بِمِشْقَصٍ مَعَهُ ، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ ، فَقَالَ : مَا يُدْرِيكَ ؟ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْحَرُ نَفْسَهُ بِمَشَاقِصَ مَعَهُ ، قَالَ : أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : إِذًا لَا أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ " .
Narrated Jabir ibn Samurah: A man fell ill and a cry was raised (for his death). So his neighbour came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him: He has died. He asked: Who told you? He said: I have seen him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised (for his death). He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: He has died. The Prophet ﷺ said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised over him. His wife said: Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and inform him. The man said: O Allah, curse him. He said: The man then went and saw that he had killed himself with an arrowhead. So he went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him that he had died. He asked: Who told you? He replied: I myself saw that he had killed himself with arrowheads. He asked: Have you seen him? He replied: Yes. He then said: Then I shall not pray over him.
