Bayhaqi 7052 — Those who said the deceased is drawn in from the foot

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: أَوْصَى الْحَارِثُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَهُ الْقَبْرَ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلِ الْقَبْرِ، وَقَالَ: " هَذَا مِنَ السُّنَّةِ " هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ قَالَ هَذَا مِنَ السُّنَّةِ فَصَارَ كَالْمُسْنَدِ. وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا هَذَا الْقَوْلَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ.
Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that al-Harith left a will that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) should lead his funeral prayer. Then he was placed into the grave from the foot end, and he said: "This is the Sunnah."
This chain is sahih (authentic). Since he said 'This is from the Sunnah', it has become like a musnad (Prophetic) report. We have also narrated this statement from Ibn Umar and Anas bin Malik.
