“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.'”
“We went out with the Messenger of Allah for a funeral, and when we reached the grave the Lahd had not yet been prepared. He sat, and we sat around him, as if there were birds on our heads.”
When the Prophet (ﷺ) placed the dead in the grave, he said: In the name of Allah, and following the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). This is Muslim’s version.
that ‘Alqamah said: “I said to Ibn Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with him: ‘Did any of you accompany the Prophet (ﷺ) on the Night of the Jinn?’ He said: ‘None of us accompanied him. One night, while he was in Makkah, we could not find him. We said: “He has been murdered snatched, what has happened to him?” So we spent the worst night a people could spend until the morning’ or ‘it was about dawn when we saw him coming from the direction of Hira.’ He said: ‘They told him about what they had went through.'” “So he (ﷺ) said: ‘Someone from the Jinn came to invite me, so I went to them to recite for them.’ He said: “So we went and saw their tracks and the traces of their camp fire.'” Ash-Sha’bi said: “They asked him about their provisions – and they were Jinns of Mesopotamia – so he said: ‘Every bone upon which Allah’s name has not been mentioned, that falls into your hands, and every dropping of dung is fodder for your beasts.'” So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Do not perform Istinja with them for indeed they are provisions for your brothers among the Jinns.”
