حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، قَالَ : الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ أَخْبَرَنِي ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " صَلَّى عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا فَقَامَ وَسَطَهَا " .

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ ، فَقَامَ حِيَالَ رَأْسِهِ ، فَجِيءَ بِجِنَازَةٍ أُخْرَى بِامْرَأَةٍ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ ، صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَامَ حِيَالَ وَسَطِ السَّرِيرِ ، فَقَالَ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ : يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ ، هَكَذَا رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قَامَ مِنَ الْجِنَازَةِ مُقَامَكَ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ ، وَقَامَ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ مُقَامَكَ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ ؟ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ " ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا ، فَقَالَ : احْفَظُوا .
´It was narrated that Abu Ghalib said:` “I saw Anas bin Malik offering the funeral prayer for a man, and he stood level with his head. Then another funeral was brought, that of a woman, and they said: ‘O Abu Hamzah! Offer the funeral prayer for her.’ So he stood level with the middle of the bed (the body was upon). ‘Ala’ bin Ziyad said to him: ‘O Abu Hamzah! Is this how you saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) standing in relation to the body of a man and a woman as you have stood?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ Then he turned to us and said: ‘Remember this.’”
