اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ((مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ، فَإِنْ شَهِدَ دَفْنَهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ، الْقِيرَاطُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أُحُدٍ))، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَبَا هُرٍّ! انْظُرْ مَا تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (وَفِي لَفْظٍ: انْظُرْ مَا تُحَدِّثُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ! فَإِنَّكَ تُكْثِرُ الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ)، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى انْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ! أَنْشُدُكِ بِاللَّهِ أَمَا سَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ، فَإِنْ شَهِدَ دَفْنَهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ))؟ قَالَتْ: اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَشْغَلُنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَرْسُ الْوَادِيِّ وَلَا صَفْقٌ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ، إِنِّي إِنَّمَا كُنْتُ أَطْلُبُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلِمَةً يُعَلِّمُنِيهَا وَأُكْلَةً يُطْعِمُنِيهَا؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ! كُنْتَ أَلْزَمَنَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَعْلَمَنَا بِحَدِيثِهِ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he passed by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was narrating this hadith: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever accompanies a deceased and offers the funeral prayer will receive the reward of one qirat, and if he stays until the burial, he will receive the reward of two qirats. One qirat is greater than the mountain of Uhud. Upon hearing this hadith, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abu Hurairah! Be careful about what you are narrating from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). In another narration, he said: Abu Hurairah! Consider carefully what you are narrating from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). You narrate many ahadith from the Messenger of Allah. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) took him to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: O Mother of the Believers! I ask you by Allah, did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever accompanies a deceased and offers the funeral prayer will receive one qirat, and whoever stays until the burial will receive two qirats of reward? She said: Yes, I heard this hadith. Then Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (The real matter is that) neither farming kept me busy from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), nor trading in the markets. I used to remain in search that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would teach me some word or command and feed me some food. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Abu Hurairah! Truly, you used to stay with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more than all of us, and you know the ahadith of the Messenger more than all of us.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … At first, Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu expressed astonishment as to why a man like him narrated so many ahadith in such abundance. However, when the concerned person presented testimony and then explained all the reasons, the doubt of Sayyiduna Abdullah radi Allahu anhu was dispelled. In reality, all those people were seekers of the truth, and when the facts became clear, their doubts would be removed. According to the wording of the narration in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, in the end, Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu also expressed regret that, by being absent from the burial of the deceased, he had missed out on several qirats (portions of reward).
