Chapter: What was narrated concerning the food that is sent to the family of the deceased
Hadith 1611
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ عِيسَى الْجَزَّارِ ، قَالَتْ : حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ عَوْنٍ ابْنَةُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهَا أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ ، قَالَتْ : لَمَّا أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ آلَ جَعْفَرٍ قَدْ شُغِلُوا بِشَأْنِ مَيِّتِهِمْ ، فَاصْنَعُوا لَهُمْ طَعَامًا " ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : فَمَا زَالَتْ سُنَّةً حَتَّى كَانَ حَدِيثًا فَتُرِكَ .
´Asma’ bint ‘Umais said:` “When Ja’far was killed, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went to his family and said: ‘The family of Ja’far are busy with the matter of their deceased, so prepare food for them.’” (One of the narrators) Abdullah said: "That continued to be the Sunnah, until innovations were introduced, then it was abandoned."
