أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ السُّوسِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي حَرَمِ مَكَّةَ، وَقَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا، وَلَا يُخْتَلَى شَوْكُهَا" قَالَ: فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ؛ فَإِنَّا نَجْعَلُهُ فِي مَسَاكِنِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ، إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ". أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ أَيْضًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ بِمَعْنَاهُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates the hadith about the sanctuary of Makkah, and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Its trees are not to be cut, nor its thorns uprooted." He said: Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Except idhkhir, for we use it in our houses and our graves. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Except idhkhir, except idhkhir."
وَرَوَى عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا وُضِعَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْقَبْرِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " {مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ، وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ، وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى} [طه: ٥٥] بِسْمِ اللهِ، وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ "، فَلَمَّا بُنِيَ عَلَيْهَا لَحْدُهَا طَفِقَ يَطْرَحُ إِلَيْهِمُ الْحُبُوبَ، وَيَقُولُ: " سُدُّوا خِلَالَ اللَّبِنِ " ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَمَا إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يُطَيِّبُ نَفْسَ الْحِيِّ ". وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ ضَعِيفٌ. أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ السَّهْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ فَذَكَرَهُ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي سَدِّ الْفُرْجَةِ بِالْمَدَرَةِ، وَقَوْلُهُ: " أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّ وَلَا تَنْفَعُ، وَلَكِنَّهَا تُقِرُّ بِعَيْنِ الْحِيِّ " عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْسَلًا.
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When Sayyidah Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), was placed in her grave, he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited: "From it (the earth) We created you, into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again" [Surah Ta Ha: 55], and said: 'Bismillah, wa fi sabilillah, wa 'ala millati Rasulillah' (In the name of Allah, in the path of Allah, and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah). When her niche (lahd) was built over her, he (peace and blessings be upon him) began throwing pieces of palm stalk to them, saying: "Fill the gaps between the bricks." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is really nothing, but the hearts of the living are comforted by it."
This chain is weak.
It is also narrated, from Makhul from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in mursal form, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Close the gap with clay," and his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "It neither benefits nor harms, but it cools the eyes of the living."
