Chapter on the Imam leaving prayer over the one who stole from the war spoils, the suicide, and the like
Hadith 3154
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: لَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the son of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), passed away at the age of eighteen months, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform his funeral prayer.
Hadith 3155
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ تُوُفِّي بِخَيْبَرَ، وَأَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ))، قَالَ: فَتَغَيَّرَتْ وُجُوهُ الْقَوْمِ لِذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الَّذِي بِهِمْ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ غَلَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ))، فَفَتَّشْنَا مَتَاعَهُ فَوَجَدْنَا فِيهِ خَرَزًا مِنْ خَرَزِ الْيَهُودِ مَا يُسَاوِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Muslim passed away in Khaybar. When this was mentioned before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "You yourselves should perform the funeral prayer of your companion." Upon hearing this, the faces of the Companions changed. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw their distress, he said: "Your companion has committed treachery in the way of Allah (by taking from the spoils of war)." Then we searched his belongings and found among them some pearls from the Jews, which were equal to two dirhams.
Hadith 3156
عَنْ سِمَاكَ (ابْنِ حَرْبٍ) أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: مَاتَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَاتَ فُلَانٌ، قَالَ: ((لَمْ يَمُتْ))، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((كَيْفَ مَاتَ؟))، قَالَ: نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ بِمِشْقَصٍ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ، (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ) قَالَ: ((إِذًا لَا أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ))
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah رضي الله عنه reports that during the time of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم, a man passed away. A person came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and said: O Messenger of Allah! So-and-so has died. But the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: He has not died. The man came again, and then a third time, and informed the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم of the same thing. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم asked: How did he die? He replied that he had slaughtered himself with a broad arrow. Upon hearing this, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم did not perform his funeral prayer. In another narration, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: Then I will not perform his funeral prayer.
Hadith 3157
عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دُعِيَ لِجَنَازَةٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهَا فَإِنْ أُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْرٌ قَامَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ لِأَهْلِهَا: ((شَأْنُكُمْ بِهَا))، وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was called for the funeral prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would inquire about the deceased. If good things were said about him, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform his funeral prayer. But if the opposite was said, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "You do whatever you wish for him yourselves." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not perform his funeral prayer.
