**Book:** Chapters Regarding Funerals | **Narrator(s):** Aabad bin Mnswr عباد بن منصور, ibn Abbas, Ikrama عكرمة, Muhammad bin Yazid bin 'Abdul Malik محمد بن يزيد بن عبد الملك, Sulaiman bin Da'ud bin al-Jarud سليمان بن داود أبو داود الطيالسي

“When ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy died, his son came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, give me your shirt so that I may shroud him in it.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Notify me when he is ready (i.e., when he has been washed and shrouded).’ When the Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to offer the funeral prayer for him: ‘You should not do that.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer for him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: ‘I have been given two choices: “…ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites) or ask not forgiveness for them…’” Then Allah revealed: ‘And never pray (the funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave.’”
