اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، أنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ، أنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، ثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنِي شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتًا وَيَتَوَضَّأَ مَنْ نَزَلَ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ حِينَ يُدْفَنُ وَلَا وُضُوءَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِمَّنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَلَا مِمَّنْ حَمَلَ جِنَازَتَهُ وَلَا مِمَّنْ مَشَى مَعَهَا وَقَدْ مَضَى عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ نَجِسٌ لَمْ أَمَسَّهُ وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ مَرْفُوعًا.
Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Taking a ritual bath after washing the deceased is Sunnah, and being in a state of ablution while lowering him into the grave until he is buried is also Sunnah. Apart from that, ablution is not required of anyone: neither of the one who offers his funeral prayer, nor of the one who carries his bier, nor of the one who walks with it. The statement of Ibn al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) has already passed: "If I knew that it was impure (najas), I would never touch it" (that is, in his view the deceased is not impure).
