وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ:

قَامَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ يُصَلِّي عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ، فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ أُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ رَافِعًا بِهَا صَوْتَهُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَكَبَّرَ فَأَخْلَصَ لِلْمَيِّتِ الدُّعَاءَ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، وَدَعَا لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا رَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي بِالْقِرَاءَةِ إِلَّا لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ

✧ Ibn Abbas ؓ stood to pray over a funeral. He said the takbir, then began the Opening of the Book (al-Fatihah), raising his voice with it. Then he prayed upon the Prophet ﷺ and said the takbir, and sincerely supplicated for the deceased. Then he said the takbir and supplicated for the believing men and women. Then he turned to the people and said: 'O people, by Allah, I did not raise my voice with the recitation except so that you may know that it is a sunnah.'
