بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الصَّغِيرِ وَالسِّقْطِ وَعَدَمِهَا
Chapter on what is reported regarding praying over the child and the stillborn and not doing so
Hadith 3151
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ابْنِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمَاتَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، وَقَالَ: ((إِنَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَنْ يُتِمُّ رَضَاعَهُ، وَهُوَ صِدِّيقٌ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin ‘Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the funeral prayer for his son Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), who passed away at the age of sixteen months. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said regarding him that there are (women) in Paradise who will complete his nursing, (this is my son) a Siddiq (truthful one).
Hadith 3152
عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((السِّقْطُ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ الطِّفْلُ) يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَيُدْعَى لِوَالِدَيْهِ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The funeral prayer should be offered for a prematurely born, incomplete child, and forgiveness and mercy should be supplicated for his parents.
Hadith 3153
عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ السُّدِّيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ابْنِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟ قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي، رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَوْ عَاشَ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا
Isma'il Sadi says: I asked Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had performed the funeral prayer for his son Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him)? He said, I do not know. May Allah's mercy be upon Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him); if he had lived, he would have been a truthful prophet.
