Chapter 8 · Chapter Regarding Funeralsمَا جَاءَ فِي الْجِنَازَةِ لاَ تُؤَخَّرُ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ وَلاَ تُتْبَعُ بِنَارٍ
حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُهَنِيُّ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: لَا تُؤَخِّرُوا الْجِنَازَةَ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ .
