Abu Atiyyah relates that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a man passed away, and some people said: "O Messenger of Allah, do not offer the funeral prayer over him." Then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.
Clarification: This refers to the incident mentioned in the previous narration, in which that man's keeping guard in the path of Allah Almighty is mentioned.
