وَقَالَ عَبْدٌ أَيْضًا: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مِنْدَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ، عَنْ نِعْمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ -:
مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - وَالْيَوْمُ بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ يَوْمٍ، وَمَنْ شَهِدَ جِنَازَةَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ، فَكَأَنَّمَا صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - وَالْيَوْمُ بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ يَوْمٍ
