حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

مَرَّ بِقَبْرٍ قَدْ دُفِنَ لَيْلاً فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَتَى دُفِنَ هَذَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا الْبَارِحَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَفَلاَ آذَنْتُمُونِي ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا دَفَنَّاهُ فِي ظُلْمَةِ اللَّيْلِ فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُوقِظَكَ‏.‏ فَقَامَ فَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ‏.‏

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

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.

Explanation in Arabic

مَرَّ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على قبر كان قد دفن صاحبه ليلًا، فسأل الصحابة الذين معه: متى دُفن هذا الميت؟ فأجابوه أنه دفن بالأمس، فقال: ألا أخبرتموني وأعلمتموني فأصلي عليه؟ فأجابوا أنهم دفنوه ليلًا فكرهوا أن يوقظوه في الليل، مراعاةً لراحة النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام، فقام عليه الصلاة والسلام واصطف الصحابة خلفه، وكان فيهم ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما، فصلى عليه الصلاة والسلام على قبر الميت.

  • جواز الدفن في الليل إذا أحسن كفنه.
  • جواز الصلاة على الميت أكثر من مرة تبعًا لمن لم يصلِّ عليه، ولا يكرر الصلاة بلا سبب.
  • أدب الصحابة رضي الله عنهم مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم.
