(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
هَارُونُ ، قَالَ : أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ
هَارُونَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا
ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أخبرني
أَبُو صَخْرٍ ، عَنْ
شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ ، عَنْ
كُرَيْبٍ ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُ مَاتَ ابْنٌ لَهُ بِقُدَيْدٍ ، أَوْ بِعُسْفَانَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا كُرَيْبُ ، انْظُرْ مَا اجْتَمَعَ لَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ , قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ ، فَإِذَا نَاسٌ قَدْ اجْتَمَعُوا لَهُ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، قَالَ : يَقُولُ : هُمْ أَرْبَعُونَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ , قَالَ : أَخْرِجُوهُ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ ، فَيَقُومُ عَلَى جِنَازَتِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا ، إِلَّا شَفَّعَهُمْ اللَّهُ فِيهِ " .
Kuraib (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once a son of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) died at the place of Qudayd or ‘Usfan. He said to me: Kuraib! Go and see how many people have gathered. I went out and saw that some people had assembled. I came back and informed him. He asked: Are they forty in number? I replied: Yes! He said: Then bring the bier out, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “If any Muslim dies and forty people who do not associate anything with Allah participate in his funeral, Allah will surely accept their intercession for the deceased.”
