Bayhaqi 6379 — Those who held it recommended to hasten to prayer

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، أنبأ حَاجِبُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي صَفْوَانَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، ثنا سَلَمُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ: " قِيلَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: مَاتَتْ فُلَانَةُ، بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَّ سَاجِدًا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: تَسْجُدُ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ آيَةً فَاسْجُدُوا " وَأِيُّ آيَةٍ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذِهَابِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ". لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ.
(a) Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It was said to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that such-and-such wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had died, and he fell down in prostration. It was said: Do you prostrate at this time? He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you see a sign, then prostrate." And what sign could be greater than the passing away of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
(b) In the narration of al-Qadi it says: We heard a cry in Madinah, and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to me: O Ikrimah! Go and see what this cry is. He said: I went and found that Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), had died.
He said: I came to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and found him in prostration, although the sun had not yet risen.
I said: Subhan Allah! The sun has not yet risen, and you have already prostrated! He said: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say: "When you see a sign, then prostrate"? So what sign could be greater than that the Mothers of the Believers are departing from among us while we remain alive?
