Chapter: What was narrated concerning offering the funeral prayer for a child
Hadith 1509
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْبَخْتَرِيُّ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " صَلُّوا عَلَى أَطْفَالِكُمْ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنْ أَفْرَاطِكُمْ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:` “The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Offer the (funeral) prayer for your children, for they have gone ahead of you (i.e. to prepare your place in Paradise for you).”
