Hadith 3147
اُردوEn
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةٌ إِلَّا شُفِّعُوا فِيهِ))، قَالَ أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ: الْأُمَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ إِلَى مَائَةٍ فَصَاعِدًا
It is narrated from Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a community prays the funeral prayer for a Muslim, their intercession is accepted on his behalf. Abu Mulaikh, the narrator, says: A community refers to forty, a hundred, or even more people.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Abu Mulaīḥ’s explanation is in accordance with the meaning of the aforementioned ahadith, because in one hadith there is mention of forty individuals, and in another, one hundred. In these ahadith, encouragement has been given for as many people as possible to participate in the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah); nevertheless, it is necessary that they be people of tawhid (monotheism) and sincerity (ikhlas).
