أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ نَاجِيَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ
أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ مَاتَ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ مُشْرِكًا قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ فَلَمَّا وَارَيْتُهُ رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي اغْتَسِلْ

"I heard Najiyah bin Ka'b narrating from 'Ali that he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Abu Talib has died.' He said: 'Go and bury him.' He said: 'He died as an idolator.' He said: 'Go and bury him.' ('Ali said:) 'When I had buried him I went back to him and he said to me: 'Perform Ghusl.'"

سئل الدارقطني عن هذا الحديث فقال رواه شعبة والثوري وإسرائيل وشريك وزهير وقيس وورقاء وإبراهيم بن طهمان عن أبي إسحاق عن ناجية بن كعب عن علي وخالفهم الحسين بن واقد وأبو حمزة السكري روياه عن أبي إسحاق عن الحارث عن علي ووهما في ذكر الحارث وذكر فيه من الاختلاف غير هذا قال والمحفوظ قول الثوري وشعبة ومن تابعهما عن أبي إسحاق عن ناجية بن كعب عن علي وكذلك رواه فرات القزاز عن ناجية بن كعب أيضا
machine translationAl-Dāraquṭnī was asked about this hadith and said: Shuʿbah, al-Thawrī, Isrāʾīl, Sharīk, Zuhayr, Qays, Warqāʾ and Ibrāhīm b. Ṭahmān narrated it from Abū Isḥāq, from Nājiyah b. Kaʿb, from ʿAlī. Al-Ḥusayn b. Wāqid and Abū Ḥamzah al-Sukkarī contradicted them, narrating it from Abū Isḥāq, from al-Ḥārith, from ʿAlī, and they erred in mentioning al-Ḥārith. He mentioned other differences about it besides this. He said: The preserved (maḥfūẓ) version is the statement of al-Thawrī, Shuʿbah and those who followed them, from Abū Isḥāq, from Nājiyah b. Kaʿb, from ʿAlī. Likewise Furāt al-Qazzāz narrated it from Nājiyah b. Kaʿb as well.
