It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: A man from the hypocrites died and I did not pray the funeral prayer over him. At this, Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me: "What prevented you from praying the funeral prayer over him?" I replied: "He was one of them (the hypocrites)." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked (with great concern): "By Allah! Am I also one of them (the hypocrites)?" I said: "No." On hearing this, he wept.
Its chain is sahih (authentic); however, Ya'qub bin Sufyan regarded it as munkar (objectionable) as a narration of Zayd bin Wahb.
