Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) passed by a grave of a deceased who had been buried at night. He said, “When was
this (deceased) buried?” The people said, “Yesterday.” He said, “Why did you not inform me?” They
said, “We buried him when it was dark and so we disliked to wake you up.” He stood up and we lined
up behind him. (Ibn `Abbas said): I was one of them, and the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer.

Ash-Shu`bi said, “Somebody who passed along with your Prophet (p.b.u.h) by a grave that was
separate from the other graves informed me (saying), “The Prophet (ﷺ)
led us (in the prayer) and we aligned behind him.” We said, “O Abu `Amr! Who told you this
narration?” He replied, “Ibn `Abbas.”

Ibn `Umar was told that Abu Huraira said, “Whoever accompanies the funeral procession will have a
reward equal to one Qirat.” Ibn `Umar said, “Abu Huraira talks of a too enormous reward.” Aisha
attested Abu Huraira’s narration and said, “I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying like that.” Ibn `Umar said,
“We have lost numerous Qirats.”

that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, “Whoever attends the funeral procession till he offers the funeral
prayer for it, will get a reward equal to one Qirat, and whoever accompanies it till burial, will get a
reward equal to two Qirats.” It was asked, “What are two Qirats?” He replied, “Like two huge
mountains.”

Ibn `Abbas (who was at that time a boy) said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to a grave and the people said,
‘He or she was buried yesterday.’ ” Ibn `Abbas added, “We aligned behind the Prophet (ﷺ) and he led the
funeral prayer of the deceased.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) informed about the news of the death of An-Najash (King of Ethiopia) on the day he
expired. He said, “Ask Allah’s forgiveness for your brother. ” Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ)
made them align in rows at the Musalla and said four Takbir.

the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “He who slaps his cheeks, tears his clothes and follows the ways and traditions of the
Days of Ignorance is not one of us.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When you see a funeral procession, you should stand up, and whoever
accompanies it should not sit till the coffin is put down.”

That his father said, “In the year of the last Hajj of the Prophet (ﷺ) I became seriously ill and the Prophet (ﷺ)
used to visit me inquiring about my health. I told him, ‘I am reduced to this state because of illness and
I am wealthy and have no inheritors except a daughter, (In this narration the name of ‘Amir bin Sa`d is
mentioned and in fact it is a mistake; the narrator is `Aisha bint Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas). Should I give
two-thirds of my property in charity?’ He said, ‘No.’ I asked, ‘Half?’ He said, ‘No.’ then he added, ‘Onethird,
and even one-third is much. You’d better leave your inheritors wealthy rather than leaving them
poor, begging others. You will get a reward for whatever you spend for Allah’s sake, even for what
you put in your wife’s mouth.’ I said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Will I be left alone after my companions
have gone?’ He said, ‘If you are left behind, whatever good deeds you will do will upgrade you and
raise you high. And perhaps you will have a long life so that some people will be benefited by you
while others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not
turn them renegades.’ But Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) felt sorry for poor Sa`d bin Khaula as he died in Mecca.”
(but Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas lived long after the Prophet (p.b.u.h).)

Abu Musa got seriously ill, fainted and could not reply to his wife while he was lying with his head in her lap. When he came to his senses, he said, “I am innocent of those, of whom Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was innocent. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) is innocent of a woman who cries aloud (or slaps her face) who shaves her head and who tear off her clothes (on the falling of a calamity)
