Hadith 11804
١١٨٠٤ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن إدريس عن حصين عن أبي مالك قال: صلى رسول اللَّه ﷺ على حمزة، فجعلوا يرفعون، وحمزة بين أيديهم حتى فرغ (من) (١) الصلاة عليهم (٢).
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Malik that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the funeral prayer of Hazrat Hamza. The companions were lifting the other funerals in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while the funeral of Hazrat Hamza remained in front of him each time. This continued until he had finished with all the funerals.
