حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ

مَرِضَ رَجُلٌ فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَجَاءَ جَارُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ قَالَ أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ فَرَجَعَ فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبِرْهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ فَرَآهُ قَدْ نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ بِمِشْقَصٍ مَعَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقَالَ مَا يُدْرِيكَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْحَرُ نَفْسَهُ بِمَشَاقِصَ مَعَهُ قَالَ أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِذًا لاَ أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ

A man fell ill and a cry was raised (for his death). So his neighbour came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him: He has died. He asked: Who told you? He said: I have seen him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised (for his death). He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: He has died. The Prophet ﷺ said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised over him. His wife said: Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and inform him. The man said: O Allah, curse him. He said: The man then went and saw that he had killed himself with an arrowhead. So he went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him that he had died. He asked: Who told you? He replied: I myself saw that he had killed himself with arrowheads. He asked: Have you seen him? He replied: Yes. He then said: Then I shall not pray over him.
