Chapter: What was narrated concerning visiting the sick

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ أُكَفِّنْهُ فِيهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏”‏ آذِنُونِي بِهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَا ذَاكَ لَكَ ‏.‏ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏”‏ أَنَا بَيْنَ خِيرَتَيْنِ ‏ {اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لاَ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ } ‏ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ ‏ {وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلاَ تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} ‏ ‏.‏

It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “When ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy died,
his son came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
give me your shirt so that I may shroud him in it.’ The Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Notify me when he is ready (i.e., when he has
been
washed and shrouded).’ When the Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to offer
the
funeral prayer for him: ‘You should not do that.’ The Prophet
(ﷺ)
offered the funeral prayer for him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said
to him:
‘I have been given two choices: “…ask forgiveness for
them
(hypocrites) or ask not forgiveness for them…’” [9:80]
Then Allah
revealed: ‘And never pray (the funeral prayer) for any
of them
(hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave.’” [9:84]
