وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ هُوَ السِّجِسْتَانِيُّ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَبِي غَالِبٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي سِكَّةِ الْمِرْبَدِ فَمَرَّتْ جِنَازَةٌ مَعَهَا نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ، قَالُوا: جِنَازَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ فَتَبِعْتُهَا فَلَمَّا وُضِعَتِ الْجِنَازَةُ، قَامَ أَنَسٌ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُ لَا يَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ شَيْءٌ، فَقَامَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ لَمْ يُطِلْ وَلَمْ يُسْرِعْ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَقْعُدُ، فَقَالُوا: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ الْمَرْأَةُ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةُ فَقَرَّبُوهَا وَعَلَيْهَا نَعْشٌ أَخْضَرُ، فَقَامَ عِنْدَ عَجِيزَتِهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا نَحْوَ صَلَاتِهِ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ، فَقَالَ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ أَهَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ كَصَلَاتِكَ يُكَبِّرُ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا، وَيَقُومُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الرَّجُلِ وَعَجِيزَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ أَبُو غَالِبٍ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ صَنِيعِ أَنَسٍ فِي قِيَامِهِ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ عِنْدَ عَجِيزَتِهَا، فَحَدَّثُونِي أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ تَكُنِ النُّعُوشُ فَكَانَ يَقُومُ الْإِمَامُ حِيَالَ عَجِيزَتِهَا يَسْتُرُهَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ.
Abu Ghalib Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I was in the Mirbad street when a funeral passed by accompanied by many people. They said: It was the funeral of Abdullah bin Umayr, so I followed it. When the bier was set down, Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and led the funeral prayer, and I was behind him with nothing between me and him. He stood by his head and said four takbirs, neither prolonging them nor hurrying. Then he went to sit down, and the people said: "O Abu Hamzah! This is the Ansari woman." They brought her near, and over her was a green bier-canopy. He stood by her waist and prayed over her just as he had prayed over the man, then he sat down. Al-Ala' bin Ziyad said: "O Abu Hamzah! Is this how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray funeral prayers, as you have prayed, saying four takbirs and standing by the head of the man and the waist of the woman?" He said: "Yes." And he narrated the rest of the hadith.
Abu Ghalib said: I asked about what Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) did in standing level with the woman's waist at her funeral, and they told me: That was because in those days there were no bier-canopies, so the imam would stand level with her waist to screen her from the people.
