Ali ibn Abi Talib · Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If anyone performs ablution well and pays a visit to his (sick) Muslim brother seeking his reward from Allah, he will be removed a distance of seventy years (kharif) from Hell. I asked: What is kharif, Abu Hamzah? He replied: A year. Abu Dawud said: Only the people of Basrah have narrated the tradition on visiting the sick after performing ablution.

If a man visits a patient in the evening, seventy thousand angels come along with him seeking forgiveness from Allah for him till the morning, and he will have a garden in the Paradise.

This tradition has been narrated by Mansur from al-Hakkam as narrated by Shu'bah.

He combined two persons from among the martyrs of Uhud in one garment.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was shrouded in three garments made in Najran: two garments and one shirt in which he died. Abu Dawud said: The narrator 'Uthman said: In three garments: two red garments and a shirt in which he died.

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a funeral passed hi and he stood up for it. When we went to carry it, we found that it was a funeral of a Jew. We, therefore said: Messenger of Allah, this is the funeral of a Jew. He said: Death is fearful event, so when you see a funeral, stand up.
