Sunan Abi Dawud 3118

Translation

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Abu Salamah, his eyes were fixedly open. So he closed them. The members of his family cried. He said: Do not pray for yourself anything but good, for the angels utter Amin to what you say. He then said: O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah, raise his rank among those who are guided, and grant him a succession in his descendants who remain. Forgive both us and him, Lord of the universe. O Allah,make his grave spacious for him, and grant him light in it. Abu Dawud said: The eyes of the deceased should be closed after his expiry. I heard Muhammad b. al-Nu'man al-Muqri say: I heard a man who was devoted to Allah say: I closed the eyes of Ja'far al-Mu'allim when he was dying. He was a man devoted to Allah. I saw him in a dream on the night he died. He said: The biggest thing for me was closing the eyes by you before I died.

Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَتَغْمِيضُ الْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ الرُّوحِ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْمُقْرِئَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَيْسَرَةَ رَجُلاً عَابِدًا يَقُولُ غَمَّضْتُ جَعْفَرًا الْمُعَلِّمَ وَكَانَ رَجُلاً عَابِدًا فِي حَالَةِ الْمَوْتِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَنَامِي لَيْلَةَ مَاتَ يَقُولُ أَعْظَمُ مَا كَانَ عَلَىَّ تَغْمِيضُكَ لِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ

• محمد بن مخلد الخضيب

  يرويه أبو قلابة واختلف عنه فرواه أبو إسحاق الفزاري وعبيد الله بن الحسن الفسوي ومخلد بن هلال أخو خالد الحذاء لأمه رووه عن خالد عن أبي قلابة عن قبيصة بن ذؤيب عن أم سلمة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وخالفهم سفيان الثوري رواه عن خالد عن أبي قلابة عن قبيصة بن ذؤيب مرسلا ورواه أيوب السختياني عن أبي قلابة مرسلا لم يذكر فيه قبيصة ولا أم سلمة وروى هذا الحديث الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه إبراهيم بن سعد واختلف عنه فرواه الحسين بن سيار الحراني عن إبراهيم بن سعد عن الزهري عن قبيصة عن أم سلمة وغيره يرويه عن إبراهيم بن سعد عن الزهري عن قبيصة بن ذؤيب مرسلاوكذلك رواه ابن أبي ذئب عن الزهري عن قبيصة مرسلا ورواه ابن عيينة عن معمر عن الزهري ولم يذكر قبيصة وأرسله وكذلك قال يونس عن الزهري قال أخبرني من سمع قبيصة وأرسله أيضا وهو أشبهها بالصواب عن الزهري

  machine translationAbū Qilābah narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Abū Isḥāq al-Fazārī, ʿUbaydullāh b. al-Ḥasan al-Fasawī and Mukhallad b. Hilāl, the maternal half-brother of Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, narrated it from Khālid, from Abū Qilābah, from Qabīṣah b. Dhuʾayb, from Umm Salamah, from the Prophet ﷺ. Sufyān al-Thawrī differed from them: he narrated it from Khālid, from Abū Qilābah, from Qabīṣah b. Dhuʾayb as a mursal report. Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī narrated it from Abū Qilābah as a mursal report, mentioning neither Qabīṣah nor Umm Salamah. Al-Zuhrī also narrated this hadith, and there is disagreement about him. Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd narrated it, and there is disagreement about him: al-Ḥusayn b. Sayyār al-Ḥarrānī narrated it from Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd, from al-Zuhrī, from Qabīṣah, from Umm Salamah, while others narrate it from Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd, from al-Zuhrī, from Qabīṣah b. Dhuʾayb as a mursal report. Likewise Ibn Abī Dhiʾb narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Qabīṣah, as a mursal report. Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated it from Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, without mentioning Qabīṣah, and made it mursal. Likewise Yūnus said from al-Zuhrī: he said, "Someone who heard Qabīṣah informed me," and he also made it mursal. This is the closest of them to correct from al-Zuhrī. Report a problem
