حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُHadith of Abu Qatadah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 22555
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دُعِيَ لِجِنَازَةٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهَا ، فَإِنْ أُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْرٌ قَامَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ، وَإِنْ أُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ لِأَهْلِهَا : شَأْنُكُمْ بِهَا ، وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهَا " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was called for a funeral prayer, he would first inquire about the opinion of the people regarding the deceased. If the people mentioned him with goodness, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand and lead his funeral prayer. But if he was mentioned with badness, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to his family, "Take him away and perform his funeral prayer yourselves," and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not lead his funeral prayer.
