Hadith 3038
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْجَنَازَةُ وَاحْتَمَلَهَا الرِّجَالُ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قَالَتْ : قَدِّمُونِي ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ قَالَتْ : يَا وَيْلَهَا أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا ، يَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلا الإِنْسَانَ ، وَلَوْ سَمِعَهَا الإِنْسَانُ لَصَعِقَ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When the bier (funeral bed) is placed and people lift it on their shoulders, if the (deceased) was righteous, he says: 'Take me forward,' and if he was not righteous, he says: 'Woe! Where are they taking me?' Everything except humans hears his voice, and if a human were to hear it, he would fall unconscious."
Hadith 3039
أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ زُغْبَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْجَنَازَةُ ، وَاحْتَمَلَهَا الرِّجَالُ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قَالَتْ : قَدِّمُونِي ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ ، قَالَتْ : يَا وَيْلَهَا أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا ، يَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلا الإِنْسَانَ ، وَلَوْ سَمِعَهَا الإِنْسَانُ لَصَعِقَ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When the funeral (bier) is placed (on the cot) and people lift it onto their shoulders, if the deceased was righteous, it says: 'Take me forward,' and if it was not righteous, it says: 'Woe to me! Where are they taking it?' Everything except humans hears its voice; if a human were to hear it, he would fall unconscious."
Hadith 3040
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.
