Book 20, Number 3083:
Narrated Amir ar-Ram:
We were in our country when flags and banners
were raised. I said: What is this?
The (the people) said: This is the banner of
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). So I came to him. He was (sitting)
under a tree. A sheet of cloth was spread for him and he was sitting on it.
His Companions were gathered around him. I sat with them.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
mentioned illness and said: When a believer is afflicted by illness and Allah
cures him of it, it serves as an atonement for his previous sins and a warning
to him for the future.
But when a hypocrite becomes ill and is then
cured, he is like a camel which has been tethered and then let loose by its
owners, but does not know why they tethered it and why they let it loose.
A man from among those around him asked:
Apostle of Allah, what are illnesses? I swear by Allah, I never fell ill.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
said: Get up and leave us. You do not belong to our number. When we were with
him, a man came to him. He had a sheet of cloth and something in his hand.
He turned his attention to him and said:
Apostle of Allah, when I saw you, I turned towards you. I saw a group of trees
and heard the sound of fledglings. I took them and put them in my garment.
Their mother then came and began to hover round my head. I showed them to her,
and she fell on them. I wrapped them with my garment. They are now with me.
He said: Put them away from you. So I put
them away, but their mother stayed with them.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said
to his companions: Are you surprised at the affection of the mother for her
young?
They said: Yes, Apostle of Allah. He said: I
swear by Him Who has sent me with the Truth, Allah is more affectionate to His
servants than a mother to her young ones. Take them back put them and where
you took them from when their mother should have been with them. So he took
them back.

loudly, but he did not respond.
He uttered the Qur'anic verse "We belong to
Allah and to Him do we return" and he said: We have been dominated against
you, AburRabi'. Then the women cried and wept, and Ibn Atik began to silence
them. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Leave them, when the
divine decree is made, no woman should weep.
They (the people) asked: What is necessary
happening, Apostle of Allah? He replied: Death. His daughter said: I hope you
will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for jihad. The

according to his intentions. What do you consider martyrdom?
They said: Being killed in the cause of
Allah.

Allah's cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a
martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal

you referring to what you mentioned.

were scanty and the slain were in great number. So one, two and three persons
were shrouded in one garment. The narrator Qutaybah added: They were then

until every one of them had put his chin on his chest.
Then a speaker spoke from a side of the
house, and they did not know who he was: Wash the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)

follow. Those who go in front of it are not accompanying it.

al-Khudri; AbuQatadah; AbuHurayrah:
Yahya ibn Subayh said: Ammar client of
al-Harith ibn Nawfal told me that he attended the funeral of Umm Kulthum, and
her son. The body of the boy was placed near the imam. I objected to it. Among
the people there were Ibn Abbas, AbuSa'id al-Khudri, AbuQatadah and
AbuHurayrah. They said: This is the sunnah (established practice of the
Prophet).
Book 20, Number 3188:
Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
Nafi' AbuGhalib said: I was in the Sikkat
al-Mirbad. A bier passed and a large number of people were accompanying it.
They said: Bier of Abdullah ibn Umayr. So I
followed it. Suddenly I saw a man, who had a thin garment on riding his small
mule. He had a piece of cloth on his head to protect himself from the sun. I
asked: Who is this important man? People said: This is Anas ibn Malik.
When the bier was placed, Anas stood and led
the funeral prayer over him while I was just behind him, and there was no
obstruction between me and him. He stood near his head, and uttered four
takbirs (Allah is Most Great). He neither lengthened the prayer nor hurried
it. He then went to sit down. They said: AbuHamzah, (here is the bier of) an
Ansari woman. They brought her near him and there was a green cupola-shaped
structure over her bier. He stood opposite her hips and led the funeral prayer
over her as he had led it over the man. He then sat down.
Al-Ala' ibn Ziyad asked: AbuHamzah, did the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say the funeral prayer over the dead as
you have done, uttering four takbirs (Allah is Most Great) over her, and
standing opposite the head of a man and the hips of a woman?
He replied: Yes. He asked: AbuHamzah, did you
fight with the Apostle of Allah? He replied: Yes. I fought with him in the
battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came out and invaded us so severely that we
saw our horses behind our backs. Among the people (i.e. the unbelievers) there
was a man who was attacking us, and striking and wounding us (with his sword).
Allah then defeated them. They were then brought and began to take the oath of
allegiance to him for Islam.
A man from among the companions of the
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: I make a vow to myself that if Allah brings
the man who was striking us (with his sword) that day, I shall behead him. The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) kept silent and the man was brought (as a
captive).
When he saw the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him), he said: Apostle of Allah, I have repented to Allah. The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) stopped (for a while) receiving his oath
of allegiance, so that the other man might fulfil his vow. But the man began
to wait for the order of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) for his
murder. He was afraid of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) to kill him.
When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) saw that he did not do anything,
he received his oath of allegiance. The man said: Apostle of Allah, what about
my vow? He said: I stopped (receiving his oath of allegiance) today so that
you might fulfil your vow. He said: Apostle of Allah, why did you not give any
signal to me? The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: It is not worthy of a
Prophet to give a signal.
AbuGhalib said: I asked (the people) about
Anas standing opposite the hips of a woman. They told me that this practice
was due to the fact that (in the days of the Prophet) there were no
cupola-shaped structures over the biers of women. So the imam used to stand
opposite the hips of a woman to hide her from the people.

that you said. (The narrator said: They exchanged hot words between them
before that.)

Thou didst create it, Thou didst guide it to Islam, Thou hast taken its
spirit, and Thou knowest best its inner nature and outer aspect. We have come
as intercessors, so forgive him.
Book 20, Number 3195:

us who are absent, our young and our old, our male and our female. O Allah, to
whomsoever of us Thou givest life grant him life as a believer, and whomsoever
of us Thou takest in death take him in death as a follower of Islam. O Allah,
do not withhold from us the reward (of faith) and do not lead us astray after
his death.
Book 20, Number 3196:
Narrated Wathilah ibn al-Asqa':
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) led
us in prayer over bier of a Muslim and I heard him say: O Allah, so and so,
son of so and so, is in Thy protection, so guard him from the trial in the
grave. (AbdurRahman in his version said: "In Thy protection and in Thy nearer
presence, so guard him from the trial in the grave) and the punishment in
Hell. Thou art faithful and worthy of praise. O Allah, forgive him and show
him mercy. Thou art the forgiving and the merciful one." AbdurRahman said: "On
the authority of Marwan ibn Janah."

remarked: The one who told me about the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)

Narrated Al-Bara' ibn Azib:
We went out with the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) to the funeral of a man of the Ansar, but when we reached
