أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ التَّاجِرُ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، ثنا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، وَكَانَ مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَعُلَمَائِهِمْ وَمِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي " الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ الْإِمَامُ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَيُخْلِصُ الصَّلَاةَ فِي التَّكْبِيرَاتِ الثَّلَاثِ، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا خَفِيفًا حِينَ يَنْصَرِفُ، وَالسُّنَّةُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ مَنْ وَرَاءَهُ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ إِمَامُهُ " قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: " حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ، وَابْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ يَسْمَعُ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ "، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، فَقَالَ: وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ الضَّحَّاكَ ابْنَ قَيْسٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ فِي صَلَاةٍ صَلَّاهَا عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُمَامَةَ.
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) said that men from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed him that in the funeral prayer the imam should say takbir, then send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and make purely sincere supplication in the three takbirs, then give a light salam when he finishes; and the Sunnah is that those behind him do just as their imam did.
Al-Zuhri said: Abu Umamah narrated that to me while Ibn al-Musayyib was listening, and he did not object to it.
Ibn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I mentioned to Muhammad bin Suwayd (may Allah have mercy on him) what Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) had informed me of the Sunnah in the prayer over the deceased, and he said: I heard al-Dahhak bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) narrating from Habib bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) about a funeral prayer he offered, the same as what Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْإِسْفَرَائِنِيُّ بِهَا، أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، ثنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَاجِيَةَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ، فَقَالَ: " أَنَا وَاللهِ أُخْبِرُكَ تَبْدَأُ فَتُكَبِّرُ، ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَتَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ فُلَانًا كَانَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِكَ شَيْئًا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ، إِنْ كَانَ مُحْسِنًا فَزِدْ فِي إِحْسَانِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسِيئًا فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ اللهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) about the funeral prayer, and he said: By Allah! I will tell you: you begin by saying takbir, then you send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and you say: 'Allahumma inna abdaka fulanan kana la yushriku bika shay'an wa anta a'lamu bihi, in kana muhsinan fazid fi ihsanihi, wa in kana musi'an fatajawaz anhu, Allahumma la tahrimna ajrahu wa la tudillana ba'dahu' (O Allah, this servant of Yours, so-and-so, did not associate anything with You, and You know him best. If he was a doer of good, then increase his good; and if he was a wrongdoer, then overlook his faults. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not lead us astray after him.)
