Bayhaqi 6794 — The miscarried foetus is washed, shrouded and prayed

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ مَطَرٍ، ثنا حَمْزَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى الْكَاتِبُ، ثنا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْمَنْفُوسِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَطِيئَةً قَطُّ، وَيَقُولُ: " اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لَنَا سَلَفًا وَفَرَطًا وَذُخْرًا " قَالَ نُعَيْمٌ: وَقِيلَ لِبَعْضِهِمْ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَى الْمَنْفُوسِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَطِيئَةً قَطُّ؟ قَالَ: قَدْ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ مَغْفُورًا لَهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْصِ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he would offer the funeral prayer over a newborn child who had breathed and had never committed any sin, and he would say: 'Allahumma ij'alhu lana salafan wa faratan wa dhukhra' (O Allah, make him for us a forerunner, a store for the Hereafter and a means of reward).
Nu'aym says: Some said: Do you offer the funeral prayer over one who never committed any sin? He would say: The funeral prayer was offered over the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as well, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was forgiven and in the rank of one who never disobeyed at all.
