Bayhaqi 6619 — The obligation of attending to funerals by washing

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَلَّبِ، ثنا ابْنُ يُونُسَ، ثنا لَيْثٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ هُوَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " وَجَدَ النَّاسُ وَهُمْ صَادِرُونَ يَعْنِي مِنَ الْحَجِّ امْرَأَةً مَيْتَةً بِالْبَيْدَاءِ، يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَلَا يَرْفَعُونَ لَهَا رَأْسًا، حَتَّى مَرَّ بِهَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ كُلَيْبٌ مِسْكِينٌ فَأَلْقَى عَلَيْهَا ثَوْبَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَعَانَ عَلَيْهَا مَنْ يَدْفِنُهَا، فَدَعَا عُمَرُ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَهُ، فَقَالَ: " هَلْ مَرَرْتَ بِهَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمَيْتَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَوْ حَدَّثْتَنِي أَنَّكُ مَرَرْتَ بِهَا لَ‍نَكَّلْتُ بِكَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ عُمَرُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيِ النَّاسِ فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا، وَقَالَ: لَعَلَّ اللهَ يُدْخِلُ كُلَيْبًا الْجَنَّةَ بِفِعْلِهِ بِهَا، فَبَيْنَمَا كُلَيْبٌ يَتَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ جَاءَهُ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ قَاتِلُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَبَقَرَ بَطْنَهُ، قَالَ نَافِعٌ: وَقَتَلَ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ مَعَ عُمَرَ سَبْعَةَ نَفَرٍ ". وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ بِمَعْنَاهُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the people were returning from Hajj when they found a dead woman at al-Bayda'. They kept passing by her and no one raised his head to look at her, until a man from Banu Layth called Kulayb the poor passed by. He threw his cloth over her, then called for help from those who would bury her. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), that is, his son, and said: "Did you pass by this dead woman?" Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "No." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Had I come to know that you passed by there, I would certainly have punished you." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood among the people, was very angry with them, and said: "Perhaps Allah Almighty will admit Kulayb into Paradise because of this very deed." Once, while Kulayb was performing ablution near the mosque, Abu Lu'lu'ah, the killer of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), came to him and ripped open his stomach. Nafi' says: Along with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), Abu Lu'lu'ah killed seven people.
