مِنْ أَيْنَ يُدْخَلُ الْمَيِّتُ قَبْرَهُ وَمَا يُقَالُ عِنْدَ ذَالِكَ وَمَنْ يُدْخِلُهُ ، وَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْحَشْيِ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَانْتِظَارِ الْفَرَاغِ مِنَ الدَّفْنِFrom where the deceased is entered into his grave, what is said at that time, who enters him, what is reported regarding filling the grave, and waiting until burial is finished
Hadith 3259
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ شَهِدَ جَنَازَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، قَالَ: فَأَظْهَرُوا الْاسْتِغْفَارَ، فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ أَنَسٌ، قَالَ هُشَيْمٌ: قَالَ خَالِدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: وَأَدْخَلُوهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلِ الْقَبْرِ، وَقَالَ هُشَيْمٌ مَرَّةً: إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَاتَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَشَهِدَهُ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَأَظْهَرُوا لَهُ الْاسْتِغْفَارَ
Ibn Sirin says that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) attended the funeral of an Ansari man. The people prayed for forgiveness for him in a loud voice, and Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) did not object to them. Khalid, the narrator, while relating this hadith, said: They lowered the deceased into the grave from the side of the feet. And Hisham, the narrator, once narrated this hadith as follows: An Ansari man passed away in Basra, and Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) also attended his funeral. The people prayed for forgiveness for the deceased in a loud voice.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … We have already clarified in the chapter “The prohibition of carrying fire with the funeral, wailing, and women accompanying the funeral” which type of voice is prohibited near the deceased, and the supplication for lowering the deceased into the grave has also been explained. What is meant by this hadith is that the raising of the voice with supplicatory words happens coincidentally. Another important issue is mentioned in this hadith, regarding which there is generally negligence among us, and that is entering the deceased into the grave from the side of the feet. Its marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) evidence is as follows:
