Chapter: What was narrated concerning visiting the sick

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيِّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ الشَّامِيِّ، – وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ – قَالَ كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَتَقَالَّ مَنْ تَبِعَهَا جَزَّأَهُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ صُفُوفٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ “‏ مَا صَفَّ صُفُوفٌ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ إِلاَّ أَوْجَبَ ‏” ‏ ‏.‏

Malik
bin Hubairah Ash-Shami, who was a Companion of the Prophet
(ﷺ),
said: “If a funeral procession was brought and the number of
people
who followed it was considered to be small, they would be
organized
into three rows, then the funeral prayer would be offered.”
He
said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘No three rows of
Muslims
offer the funeral prayer for one who has died, but he will be
guaranteed (Paradise).’”
