Sunan Abi Dawud 3169 (Book 21, Hadith 81) #23459
Accompanying a Bier and Praying Over It

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of accompanying a bier and praying over it.

Dawud b. 'Amir b. Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas said that his father 'Amir b. Sa'd was with Ibn 'Umar b. al-Khattab when Khabbab, the owner of the closet (Maqsurah), came and said: 'Abd Allah b.'Umar dont you hear what Abu Hurairah says ? He heard the Messenger of Allah say: If anyone goes out of his house, accompanies bier and prays over it. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition as narrated by Sufyan. Thereupon Ibn 'Umar sent someone to 'Aishah (asking her about it). She replied: Abu Hurairah spoke the truth.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْهَرَوِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُقْرِئُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَخْرٍ، - وَهُوَ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ - أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِذْ طَلَعَ خَبَّابٌ صَاحِبُ الْمَقْصُورَةِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ أَلاَ تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَنْ خَرَجَ مَعَ جَنَازَةٍ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ فَأَرْسَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ صَدَقَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ

Accompanying funerals processions , Praying over deceased people

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of accompanying a funeral procession and praying for the deceased. It was narrated by Dawud that his father Amir was with Ibn Umar when Khabbab came to him saying that Abu Hurairah heard Prophet Muhammad say that if anyone goes out of his house to accompany a funeral procession and pray for the deceased then he will be rewarded by Allah. Upon hearing this Ibn Umar sent someone to Aishah who confirmed it as true. This hadith teaches us that we should always accompany funerals processions in order to pay our respects to those who have passed away as well as pray for them so they may receive mercy from Allah in their afterlife. We should also remember that we will be rewarded by Allah if we do so which is an added incentive for us to perform this act of kindness towards our fellow Muslims who have passed away.
