English narration
Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ made a speech one day and mentioned a man from among his Companions who died and was shrouded in a shroud of bad quality, and was buried at night. The Prophet ﷺ rebuked that man be buried at night until prayer was offered over him, except that a man was forced to do that. The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you shrouds his brother, he should use a shroud of good quality.
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ : أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ يَوْمًا ، فَذَكَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ قُبِضَ ، فَكُفِّنَ فِي كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ ، وَقُبِرَ لَيْلًا ، فَزَجَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ . حتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَضْطَرَّ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "
إِذَا كَفَّنَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ ، فَلْيُحْسِنْ كَفَنَهُ
" .
