Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Umama ibn
Sahl ibn Hunayf told him that once a poor woman fell ill and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was told
of her illness, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to visit poor people frequently and ask after
them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "Let me know if she dies." Her bier was brought out at night-
time and they did not want to wake up the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace. In the morning the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was told what had
happened to her and he said, "Didn't I tell you to let me know if she
died?" They replied, "Messenger of Allah, we did not want to wake you
up and make you come out in the night." Then the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out and formed everyone
into rows by her grave and said "Allah is greater" four times.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from
his father that Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman told him that she had heard
A'isha, the umm al-muminin, say (when it was mentioned to her that
Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "The dead are tormented by the weeping
of the living"), "May Allah forgive Abu Abd ar-Rahman. Of course he
has not lied, but he has forgotten, or made a mistake. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed by a jewish
woman whose family were crying over her and he said, 'You are crying
over her, and she is being tormented in her grave. ' "
Malik related to me from AIqama ibn Abi Alqama that his mother
said that she had heard A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, rose one night and put on his clothes
and then went out. I ordered my slave-girl, Barira, to follow him, and
she followed him until he got to al-Baqi. He stood near it as long as
Allah willed and then he left. Barira arrived back before him and told
me and I did not say anything to him until morning, and then I
mentioned it to him and he explained, 'I was sent out to the people of
al-Baqi to pray for them.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that al-Qasim
ibn Muhammad said, "One of my wives died and Muhammad ibn Kab al
Quradhi came to console me about her. He told me of one among the Bani
Israil who was a diligent, worshipping, knowing and understanding man
who had a wife that he admired and loved, and she died. He grieved
over her intensely and lamented her until he withdrew into a house and
locked himself in, hidden from everyone, and no-one visited him. A
woman heard about him and went to him, saying, 'I need him to give me
an opinion. Nothing will satisfy me except what he says about it.'
Everyone went away, but she stuck to his door and said, 'I must see
him.' Someone said to him, 'There is a woman who wishes to ask your
opinion about something,' and she insisted, 'I will only talk to him
about it.' When everyone had gone away, and she still had not left
his door, he said, 'Let her in.' So she went in and saw him and said,
'I have come to ask your opinion about something.' He said, 'What is
it?' She said, 'I borrowed a piece of jewellery from a neighbour of
mine, and I have worn it and used it for a long time. Then they sent
to me for it. Should I let them have it back?' He said, 'Yes, by
Allah.' She said, 'I have had it for a long time.' He said, 'It is
more correct for you to return it to them, since they have lent it to
you for such a long time.' She said, 'Yes. May Allah have mercy on
you. Do you then grieve over what Allah has lent you and then taken
from you, when He has a greater right to it than you?' Then he saw
the situation he was in, and Allah helped him by her words."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from his father that he had asked Abu Hurayra, "How do you pray over
the dead?" and Abu Hurayra replied, "By the Life of Allah, I will tell
you! I follow with the family and when the corpse is put down I say
'Allah is greater' and praise Allah and ask for blessings on His
Prophet. Then I say, 'O Allah, he is Your slave and the son of Your
male slave and Your female slave. He used to testify that there is no
god but You and that Muhammad is Your slave and Your Messenger, and
You know that best. O Allah, if he acted well, then increase for him
his good action, and if he acted wrongly, then overlook his wrong
actions. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not try us
after him.'"
Allahumma inna huwa abduka wa'bnu abdika wa'bnu
amatika. Kana yash-hadu an la ilaha illa ant wa anna Muhammadan abduka
wa rasooluka, wa anta alamu bihi. Allahumma in kana muhsinan zid fi
ihsanihi, wa in kana musiyan fa tajawaz an sayatihi. Allahumma la
tahrimna ajrahu wa lataftina badahu.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
from Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "If a misfortune befalls some one and he says, as
Allah has ordered, 'We belong to Allah and to Him we are returning. O
Allah, reward me in my misfortune and give me better than it
afterwards,' Allah will do that for him" (Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi
rajiun. Allahumma' jurniy fi musiybatiy, wa a qibhiy khayran minha,
illa faala 'llahu dhalika bihi.).
Umm Salama said, "When Abu
Salama died I said that, and then I said, 'Who is better than Abu
Salama?' " And then Allah left her the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and he married her.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that A'isha,
the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "I saw three moons fall into my room, and I related my vision to
Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Then, when the Messenger of Allah died, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and was buried in my house, Abu Bakr
said to me, 'This is one of your moons, and he is the best of them.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Abi Tamima as-
Sakhtayani from Muhammad ibn Sirin that Umm Atiyya al-Ansariyya said,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came
to us when his daughter died and said, 'Wash her three times, or five,
or more than that if you think it necessary, with water and lotus
leaves, and at the end put on some camphor, or a little camphor, and
when you have finished let me know.' When we finished we told him, and
he gave us his waist-wrapper and said, 'Shroud her with this.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn
Jabir ibn Atik that Atik ibn al-Harith, the grandfather of Abdullah
ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir on his mother's side, told him that Jabir ibn
Atik had told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit and found him in
his death-throes. He called to him but he did not reply. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "We belong to
Allah, and to Him we are returning," and added, "You are being taken
from us, Abur-Rabi`." The women cried out and wept, and Jabir began
to silence them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Leave them, and when the necessary time comes, none
of the women should cry." They said, "Messenger of Allah, what is the
necessary time?" and he replied, "When he dies." The dying man's
daughter said, "By Allah, I hope that you will be a martyr, for you
have completed your preparations for battle," and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah has made
his reward fall according to his intention. What do you consider dying
a martyr to be?" They said, "Death in the way of Allah." The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There are
seven kinds of martyr other than those killed in the way of Allah.
Someone who is killed by the plague is a martyr, someone who drowns is
a martyr, someone who dies of pleurisy is a martyr, someone who dies
of a disease of the belly is a martyr, someone who dies by fire is a
martyr, someone who dies under a falling building is a martyr and a
woman who dies in childbirth is a martyr."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-Araj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "A man said to his family that he had never done a
good action, and that when he died they were to burn him and then
scatter half of him on the land and half of him on the sea, and by
Allah, if Allah destined it for him He would punish him with a
punishment which He had not punished anyone else with in all the
worlds. When the man died, they did as he had told them. Then Allah
told the land to collect everything that was in it, and told the sea
to collect everything that was in it, and then He said to the man,
'Why did you do this?' and he said, 'From fear of You, Lord, and You
know best.' "
Abu Hurayra added, "And He forgave him."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Amr
ibn Hazm from his father from Abu'n-Nadr as-Salami that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If three of
a muslim's children die, and he remains content with that, they will
be a protection for him from the Fire." A woman who was with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Or
two, Messengerof Allah?", and he said, "Or two."
