Musnad Ahmad 807 (Book 5, Hadith 237) #34463
The Prophet's Du'a for 'Ali

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ offered du'a' for 'Ali (??? ???? ???) after he had buried his paternal uncle, Abu Talib.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: When Abu Talib died, I came to the Prophet and said: Your paternal uncle, the old man, has died. He said: "Go and bury him, then do not do anything until you come to me'. So I went and buried him, then I came to him and he said: "Go and do ghusl, then do not do anything until you come to me". So I did ghusl, then I came to him and he offered du'a' for me, and I would not be happy if I had red and black camels instead of that. The narrator said: And 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) used to do ghusl when he had washed a deceased person.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْأَصَمُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ السُّدِّيَّ، إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَذْكُرُهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ ثُمَّ لَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي قَالَ فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ ثُمَّ لَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي قَالَ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ فَدَعَا لِي بِدَعَوَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِي بِهَا حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ وَسُودَهَا قَالَ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا غَسَّلَ الْمَيِّتَ اغْتَسَلَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of offering du’aa for those who have passed away. After ‘Ali’s paternal uncle, Abu Talib, died, ‘Ali went to the Prophet and informed him of the news. The Prophet instructed ‘Ali to bury his uncle and then come back to him so he could offer du’aa for him. After doing this, ‘Ali felt as if he would not be happy even if he were given red and black camels in exchange for what the Prophet did for him. This shows us how important it is to offer du’aa when someone passes away as it can bring comfort and peace of mind during a difficult time. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about performing ghusl after burying a deceased person which is an important part of Islamic burial rites.
