Bab 23
باب فِي الْجَنَائِزِ وَمَنْ كَانَ آخِرُ كَلاَمِهِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ
Chapter: What is said about funerals, and those whose last words were: La ilãha ilallãh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ دُعِيَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَثَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتُصَلِّي عَلَى ابْنِ أُبَىٍّ وَقَدْ قَالَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا كَذَا وَكَذَا ـ أُعَدِّدُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ ـ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ ” أَخِّرْ عَنِّي يَا عُمَرُ ”. فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ” إِنِّي خُيِّرْتُ فَاخْتَرْتُ، لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِنْ زِدْتُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ فَغُفِرَ لَهُ لَزِدْتُ عَلَيْهَا ”. قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَلَمْ يَمْكُثْ إِلاَّ يَسِيرًا حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الآيَتَانِ مِنْ {بَرَاءَةٌ} {وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا} إِلَى {وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ} قَالَ فَعَجِبْتُ بَعْدُ مِنْ جُرْأَتِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَئِذٍ، وَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab: When `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul died, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) was called upon to offer his funeral
prayer. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stood up to offer the prayer, I got up quickly and said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! Are you going to pray for Ibn Ubai and he said so and so on such and such occasions?” And
started mentioning all that he had said. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and said, “O `Umar! Go away from
me.” When I talked too much he said, “I have been given the choice and so I have chosen (to offer the
prayer). Had I known that he would be forgiven by asking for Allah’s forgiveness for more than
seventy times, surely I would have done so.” (`Umar added): Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) offered his funeral
prayer and returned and after a short while the two verses of Surat Bara’ were revealed: i.e. “And
never (O Muhammad) pray for any of them who dies . . . (to the end of the verse) rebellion (9.84)” —
(`Umar added), “Later I astonished at my daring before Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) on that day. And Allah and
His Apostle know better.”
