أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ شَوْذَبٍ الْمُقْرِئُ بِوَاسِطٍ، ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ مَاتَ، يَعْنِي أَبَاهُ، قَالَ: " اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ، وَلَا تُحْدِثَنَّ حَدَثًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي " فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ، فَأَمَرَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ، ثُمَّ دَعَا لِي بِدَعَوَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ بِهِنَّ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Your uncle, the misguided old man, has died (meaning my father). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and bury him, and do not do anything else until you come to me." Then I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me, so I performed the ritual bath (ghusl). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) made supplications for me which I love so much that nothing on the earth could please me more than them.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ نَصْرَانِيًّا، فَقَالَ: " اغْسِلْهُ، وَكَفِّنْهِ، وَحَنِّطْهُ، ثُمَّ ادْفِنْهُ " ثُمَّ قَالَ: {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى} [التوبة: ١١٣] الْآيَةَ ".
Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said: My father has died as a Christian. He said: "Wash him, shroud him, apply perfume to him, then bury him." Then he recited this verse: "It is not fitting for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and those who believe to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they are close relatives." [Surah al-Tawbah: 113]
