Hadith 735
735 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْهَجَرِيًّ، أَنَّهُ رَأَي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَي فِي جِنَازَةِ ابْنَةٍ لَهُ عَلَي بَغْلَةٍ تُقَادُ بِهِ، فَيَقُولُ لِلْقَائِدِ أَيْنَ أَنَا مِنْهَا؟ فَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ: أَمَامَهَا، قَالَ: أَحْبِسِ، قَالَ: وَرَأَيْتُهُ حِينَ صَلَّي عَلَيْهَا كَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا، ثُمَّ قَامَ سَاعَةً، فَسَبَّحَ بِهِ الْقَوْمُ فَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَكُنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي أَزِيدُ عَلَي أَرْبَعٍ وَقَدْ «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا، وَسَمِعَ نِسَاءً يَرْثِينَ فَنَهَاهُنَّ» ، وَقَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَي عَنِ الْمَرَاثِي»
Ibrahim bin Muslim Hadi narrates: He saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) participating in the funeral of his daughter. He was riding a mule, which was being led forward. So he said to the one leading the mule: "Where am I in relation to the funeral?" When he was told: "You are ahead of it," he said: "Stop it." The narrator says: I saw him say four takbirs in the funeral prayer for that woman, then he stood for a little while, so the attendees began to say "Subhan Allah" (i.e., they wanted to draw his attention). Then he said the salam. He said: "Did you think that I would say more than four takbirs, while I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say four takbirs?" Then he heard some women reciting elegies, so he forbade them from it and said: "I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding the recitation of elegies."
