وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أنا الرَّبِيعُ، قَالَ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَإِنَّمَا مَنَعَنِي عَنْ إِيجَابِ الْغُسْلِ مِنْ غُسْلِ الْمَيِّتِ أَنَّ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ رَجُلًا لَمْ أَقْنَعْ عَنْ مَعْرِفَةِ مَنْ ثَبَّتَ حَدِيثَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِي عَلَى مَا يُقْنِعُنِي فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُ مَنْ يُقْنِعُنِي أَوْجَبْتُهُ وَأَوْجَبْتُ الْوُضُوءَ مِنْ مَسِّ الْمَيِّتِ مُفْضِيًا إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُمَا فِي حَدِيثٍ وَاحِدٍ ⦗٤٥١⦘ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنٍ إِسْحَاقَ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْمُطَرِّزُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَحْيَى يَقُولُ: لَا أَعْلَمُ فِيمَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتًا فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ حَدِيثًا ثَابِتًا وَلَوْ ثَبَتَ لَزِمَنَا اسْتِعْمَالُهُ، قَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ: وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ ضَعِيفٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ مَرْفُوعًا.
(a) Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: What prevented me from acting on the hadith making a bath obligatory after washing a dead person is that there is a narrator in its chain about whom, to this day, I have not obtained knowledge that would satisfy me. If I found someone reliable (to satisfy me), I would declare it obligatory, and I would declare ablution due upon whoever touches the dead person.
(b) Abu Bakr al-Mutarriz said: I heard Muhammad bin Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) say: "I do not know of any established hadith concerning taking a bath after washing a dead person; if it were established, we would be bound to act on it." (c) Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It has been reported as marfu' from Abu Salamah through a weak chain.
