Chapter: Superiority of accompanying funeral processions

Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Sahih al-Bukhari 1323

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا، يَقُولُ حُدِّثَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ يَقُولُ

مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَيْنَا‏.‏ فَصَدَّقَتْ ـ يَعْنِي عَائِشَةَ ـ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَقَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُهُ‏.‏

Narrated Nafi`:

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."

Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 1323).

Explanation in Arabic

أُخبر ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن أبا هريرة قال: من اتبع جنازة فله قيراط من الأجر، والقيراط اسم لمقدار معلوم في العرف، وهو جزء من أربعة وعشرين جزءًا، وقد يراد به الجزء مطلقًا، ويكون عبارة عن الحظ والنصيب والثواب، أو عن قيراط من مثل عمل المصلَّى عليه، فصدَّقت عائشة أبا هريرة رضي الله عنهما، وقالت إنها سمعت الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول مثل قوله، وذلك أن ابن عمر أرسل من يتأكد من هذا الحديث من عائشة، فأتاه بالخبر بأنها أقرت ذلك، فقال ابن عمر: لقد فرطنا في قراريط كثيرة من عدم المواظبة على حضور الدفن.

ومقصود هذا الحديث أن من صلى على جنازة كان له حظ عظيم من الثواب والأجر، وكذلك إن صلى عليها واتبعها كان له حظان عظيمان من ذلك؛ إذ قد عمل عملين، أحدهما: صلاته، والثاني: كونه معه إلى أن يدفن، وشُبِّه القيراط في أحاديث أخرى بجبل أحد أي في عِظَمه.

بيان ثواب اتباع الجنائز.
بيان صدق أبي هريرة ومكانة عائشة رضي الله عنهما في العلم، وهما مع ابن عمر رضي الله عنه من المكثرين من رواية الحديث عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم.
بيان حرص ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما على العلم والعمل.
بيان اعتناء الصحابة بحديث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم.

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani — Fath al-Bari

قَوْله : ( حُدِّثَ اِبْن عُمَر ) كَذَا فِي جَمِيع الطُّرُق " حُدِّثَ " بِضَمِّ الْمُهْمَلَة عَلَى الْبِنَاء لِلْمَجْهُولِ , وَلَمْ أَقِف فِي شَيْء مِنْ الطُّرُق عَنْ نَافِع عَلَى تَسْمِيَة مَنْ حَدَّثَ اِبْن عُمَر عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة بِذَلِكَ , وَقَدْ أَوْرَدَهُ أَصْحَاب الْأَطْرَاف وَالْحُمَيْدِيّ فِي جَمْعِهِ فِي تَرْجَمَة نَافِع عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة , وَلَيْسَ فِي شَيْء مِنْ طُرُقه مَا يَدُلّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مُحْتَمِلًا , وَوَقَفْت عَلَى تَسْمِيَة مَنْ حَدَّثَ اِبْن عُمَر بِذَلِكَ صَرِيحًا فِي مَوْضِعَيْنِ : أَحَدهمَا فِي صَحِيح مُسْلِم وَهُوَ خَبَّاب بِمُعْجَمَةٍ وَمُوَحَّدَتَيْنِ الْأُولَى مُشَدَّدَة وَهُوَ أَبُو السَّائِب الْمَدَنِيّ صَاحِب الْمَقْصُورَ…
