أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّارُ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَقِيلِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، قَالَ : هَذَا مَا سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ يَوْمًا ، فَذَكَرَ رَجُلا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، قُبِضَ ، فَكُفِّنَ فِي كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ ، وَقُبِّرَ لَيْلا ، فَزَجَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنْ يُقْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ بِلَيْلٍ ، أَوْ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ إِلا أَنْ يُضْطَرَّ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : " إِذَا وَلِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ ، فَلْيُحْسِنْ كَفَنَهُ " .
Wahb bin Munabbih narrates: This is the matter about which I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both): so he narrated some ahadith. He mentioned that one day the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon, and he mentioned one of his companions who had passed away and was not given a large shroud, and was buried at night. So the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that anyone should be buried at night or that anyone's funeral prayer should be performed at night, except in case of necessity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person becomes responsible for his brother's (shrouding and burial affairs), he should give him a good shroud.
