Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4143

وَعَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ الْهَجَرِيِّ قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ فِي جِنَازَةِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ لَهُ حَوِيٍّ - يَعْنِي سَوْدَاءَ - فَجَعَلَ النِّسَاءُ يَقُلْنَ لِقَائِدِهِ : قَدِّمْهُ أَمَامَ الْجِنَازَةِ ، فَفَعَلَ ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَهُ : أَيْنَ الْجِنَازَةُ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : خَلْفَكَ ، [ قَالَ : فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ ] قَالَ : أَلَمْ أَنْهَكَ أَنْ تُقَدِّمَنِي أَمَامَ الْجِنَازَةِ ؟ قَالَ : فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ امْرَأَةٍ تَلْتَدِمُ ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً : تَرْثِي ، فَقَالَ : مَهْ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُنَّ عَنْ هَذَا ؟ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يَنْهَانَا عَنِ الْمَرَاثِي ، لِتُفِضْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مِنْ عَبْرَتِهَا مَا شَاءَتْ .
قُلْتُ : رَوَى ابْنُ مَاجَهْ مِنْهُ النَّهْيَ عَنِ الْمَرَاثِي فَقَطْ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ الْهَجَرِيُّ فِيهِ كَلَامٌ .
Ibrahim bin Muslim al-Hajari says: I attended the funeral of the son of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him). He was riding a black mule. The women began telling the man leading the mule: "Take him ahead of the funeral." He did so, and I heard him say to that man: "Where is the funeral?" The man said: "Behind you." The narrator says: This happened once or perhaps twice; then he said: "Did I not forbid you from taking me ahead of the funeral?" The narrator says: Meanwhile he heard the voice of a woman reciting an elegy, so he said: "Stop! Did I not forbid you women from this? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from elegies. Any one of you may shed as many tears as she wishes."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Ibn Majah recorded only the part about the prohibition of elegies from this narration.
Ahmad recorded it. The narrator Ibrahim al-Hajari has been criticised.
