Hadith 536
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَرَأَ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ ، وَجَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا جَهَرْتُ لأُعْلِمَكُمْ أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ والإِمَامُ كفها " .
Zaid bin Talha Taimi says that I heard from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that he recited Surah Al-Fatihah and another Surah in the funeral prayer and recited aloud. Then he said: "I recited aloud to let you know that this is also Sunnah, and the Imam can also recite silently."
