أَخْبَرَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ ، وَعِيَادَةِ الْمَرْضَى ، وَتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ ، وَإِبْرَارِ الْمُقْسِمِ ، وَنُصْرَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ ، وَإِفْشَاءِ السَّلامِ ، وَإِجَابَةِ الدَّاعِي " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : الأَمْرُ بِاتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ ، وَعِيَادَةِ الْمَرْضَى ، أَمْرٌ لِطَلَبِ الثَّوَابِ دُونَ أَنْ يَكُونَ حَتْمًا ، وَالأَمْرُ بِتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ ، وَإِبْرَارِ الْمُقْسِمِ ، لَفْظٌ عَامٌ مُرَادُهُمَا الْخُصُوصُ ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْعَاطِسَ لا يَجِبُ أَنْ يُشَمَّتَ إِلا إِذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ ، وَإِبْرَارُ الْمُقْسِمِ فِي بَعْضِ الأَحْوَالِ دُونَ الْكُلِّ ، وَالأَمْرُ بِنُصْرَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ ، وَإِجَابَةِ الدَّاعِي أَمْرَا حَتْمٍ فِي الْوَقْتِ دُونَ الْوَقْتِ ، وَالأَمْرِ بِإِفْشَاءِ السَّلامِ أَمْرٌ بِلَفْظِ الْعُمُومِ ، وَالْمُرَادُ مِنْهُ اسْتِعْمَالُهُ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ دُونَ غَيْرِهِمْ .
Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to accompany the funeral, visit the sick, respond to one who sneezes, fulfill the oath of one who swears, help the oppressed, spread the greeting of peace, and accept invitations. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The command to accompany the funeral and visit the sick is for seeking reward; it is not an obligatory command. As for responding to one who sneezes and fulfilling an oath, the wording of the command is general but its intent is specific. That is, responding to one who sneezes is only obligatory when he praises Allah, and fulfilling an oath is obligatory in some cases, not in all cases. As for helping the oppressed and accepting invitations, these are commands that are obligatory at certain times and not obligatory at other times. As for the command to spread the greeting of peace, the wording is general, but what is meant is that it should be done with Muslims; it should not be done with non-Muslims.
