Aisha said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) in his fatal illness said, ‘Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians because
they took the graves of their Prophets as places for praying.”‘ Aisha added, “Had it not been for that,
the grave of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) would have been made prominent but I am afraid it might be taken
(as a) place for praying.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, When the funeral is ready and the men carry it on their shoulders, if the deceased
was righteous it will say, ‘Present me (hurriedly),’ and if he was not righteous, it will say, ‘Woe to it
(me)! Where are they taking it (me)?’ Its voice is heard by everything except man and if he heard it he
would fall unconscious.”

I offered the funeral prayer behind the Prophet (ﷺ) for a woman who had died during childbirth and he
stood up by the middle of the coffin.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Hurry up with the dead body for if it was righteous, you are forwarding it to
welfare; and if it was otherwise, then you are putting off an evil thing down your necks.”

I offered the funeral prayer behind the Prophet (ﷺ) for a woman who had died during childbirth and he
stood up by the middle of the coffin.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When a funeral is ready and the men carry the deceased on their necks (shoulders),
if it was pious then it will say, ‘Present me quickly’, and if it was not pious, then it will say, ‘Woe to it
(me), where are they taking it (me)?’ And its voice is heard by everything except mankind and if he
heard it he would fall unconscious.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer for An-Najashi and I was in the second or third row.

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) informed his companions about the death of An-Najashi and then he went ahead
(to lead the prayer) and the people lined up behind him in rows and he said four Takbir.

Ash Shu`bi said, “I was informed by a man who had seen the Prophet (ﷺ) going to a grave that was
separate from the other graves and he aligned the people in rows and said four Takbir.” I said, “O Abu
`Amr! who narrated (that) to you”? He said, “Ibn `Abbas. ”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Today a pious man from Ethiopia (i.e. An Najashi) has expired, come on to offer
the funeral prayer.” (Jabir said): We lined up in rows and after that the Prophet (ﷺ) led the prayer and we
were in rows. Jabir added, I was in the second row.”
