وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَبَشِّرِ الصَّبِرِينَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَبَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْنَ أُوْلَبِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُوْلَبِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ(البقرة: ١٥٥) ، وَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ (البقرة: ٤٥

And the saying of Allah, the Almighty: "And give good news to the patient, who, when a calamity strikes them, say, 'Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we will return.' Upon them are blessings from their Lord and mercy, and it is they who are rightly guided." (Quran 2:155-156). And His saying: "And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humble." (Quran 2:45).

The Prophet (ﷺ) took Ibrahim, kissed him, and smelled him. Later, we entered again, and Ibrahim was in his final moments. The eyes of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) filled with tears. Abdur Rahman ibn Awf said, 'Even you, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'O Ibn Awf, this is mercy.' Then he added, 'The eyes shed tears, and the heart grieves, but we do not say except what pleases our Lord. Indeed, we are saddened by your separation, O Ibrahim.'" [Agreed upon]

وَعَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ (رضي الله عنهما) قَالَ: أَرْسَلَتِ ابْنَةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ ابْنَا لِي قُبِضَ فَأْتِنَا، فَأَرْسَلَ يُقْرِئُ السَّلَامَ، وَيَقُوْلُ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى، وَكُلُّ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى، فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّهَا، فَقَامَ وَمَعَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَمَعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَرِجَالٌ، فَرُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصَّبِيُّ وَنَفْسُهُ تَتَقَعْقَعُ، فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ سَعْدُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ رَحْمَةُ جَعَلَهَا اللهُ فِي قُلُوْبِ عِبَادِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرَّحَمَاءَ». مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ.

He sent his greetings and said, 'To Allah belongs what He takes, and to Him belongs what He gives. Everything has an appointed time with Him. Be patient and seek reward.' She sent another message, insisting that he come. So he went, accompanied by Sa'd ibn Ubadah, Mu'adh ibn Jabal, Ubayy ibn Ka'b, Zayd ibn Thabit, and other men. When the child was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ), his soul was struggling, and the Prophet’s eyes filled with tears. Sa'd said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is this?' He replied, 'This is mercy that Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants. Indeed, Allah shows mercy only to the merciful among His servants.'" [Agreed upon]

When they entered, they found him unconscious. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, 'Has he passed away?' They replied, 'No, O Messenger of Allah.' The Prophet (ﷺ) wept, and when the people saw him weeping, they also wept. He said, 'Do you not hear? Allah does not punish for the tears of the eyes or the grief of the heart, but He punishes or shows mercy because of this,' and he pointed to his tongue. 'Indeed, the deceased is punished by the wailing of his family over him.'" [Agreed upon] 1

1 The statement: "Indeed, the deceased is punished by the wailing of his family over him." In Ad-Durr Al-Mukhtar, it is said: "The deceased is only punished by the wailing of his family if he had instructed them to do so." In Radd Al-Muhtar, it is said: "The interpretation of this Hadith is that people at that time used to instruct others to wail, so the Prophet (ﷺ) said this." This is mentioned in Al-Bahr, quoting Az-Zahirah.

Allah, the Almighty, says: "And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the night." (Quran 2:187)

2 The statement: "Then complete the fast until the night." The word "thumma" (then) indicates a delay, meaning the obligation begins after dawn without fail, as the night does not end except with a portion of the day. However, we permit the intention to fast to be made before dawn based on the Sunnah. As for the claim that the night is the basis for the intention and that it is prohibited during the day, as Al-Shafi’i claimed, this is not the case. This verse also serves as evidence for the prohibition of continuous fasting (Wisal), as explicitly stated in Al-Kashshaf and Al-Madarik. This is mentioned in Al-Tafsirat Al-Ahmadiyyah.

1 The statement: "Prohibited following." In Ad-Durr Al-Mukhtar, it is said: "It is disliked (Makruh Tahrimi) for women to go out (to funerals), and the wailing woman should be reprimanded. However, the funeral should not be abandoned because of her." In Radd Al-Muhtar, it is said, quoting Abu As-Su'ud: "The apparent meaning is that following her refers to walking with her in general, not specifically walking behind her. Rather, one should avoid walking behind her if she is wailing, as mentioned in Al-Ikhtiyar. This reconciles the matter."

Then he said, 'No woman among you loses three of her children except that they will be a shield for her from the Fire.' A woman among them asked, 'What about two?' He repeated it twice, then said, 'And two, and two, and two.'" [Narrated by Al-Bukhari]

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: "When the news of the deaths of Harithah, Ja'far, and Ibn Rawahah reached the Prophet (ﷺ), he sat down, visibly sad. I was watching from a crack in the door. A man came and said, 'The women of Ja'far are weeping.' The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered him to stop them. He went but returned, saying they did not obey. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Stop them.' He went a third time and said, 'By Allah, they have overwhelmed us, O Messenger of Allah.' It is said that the Prophet (ﷺ) then said, 'Throw dust in their mouths.' I said, 'May Allah humiliate you! You neither obeyed the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) nor spared him the trouble.'" [Agreed upon] 1

1 The statement: "He sat down, visibly sad." Al-Baqali said: "There is no harm in sitting for condolences for three days in a house or mosque. The Prophet (ﷺ) sat when Ja'far and Zayd ibn Harithah were killed, and people came to console him. Offering condolences on the first day is best. Sitting in the mosque for three days for condolences is disliked, but in other places, it is permissible for men for three days, though avoiding it is better. It is disliked for the consoler to offer condolences a second time." This is mentioned in Al-Bahr Ar-Ra'iq. In Al-Alamgiriyyah, it is said: "There is no harm for the bereaved to sit in their house or mosque for three days, and people come to console them. However, sitting at the door of the house or spreading carpets and standing at crossroads, as done in non-Arab lands, is among the worst practices." This is mentioned in Az-Zahirah and Al-Binayah. Ali Al-Qari said: "The apparent meaning of the Hadith is that his sitting in the mosque was for condolences, but Ibn Al-Humam said: 'It is permissible to sit for a calamity for three days, though it is disliked in the mosque.' This may be understood as specific to him, to show its permissibility, or his sitting in the mosque was coincidental." In Radd Al-Muhtar, quoting Al-Imdad: "Many of our later scholars said: 'It is disliked to gather at the bereaved's house, and it is disliked for him to sit in his house until people come to console him. Rather, after the burial, people should disperse and attend to their affairs, and the bereaved should attend to his.'"

۱ قوله: جلس يعرف فيه الحزن: قال البقالي: ولا بأس بالجلوس للعزاء ثلاثة أيام في بيت أو مسجد، وقد جلس رسول الله ﷺ لما قتل جعفر وزيد بن حارثة، والناس يأتون ويُعزونه. والتعزية في اليوم الأول أفضل، والجلوس في المسجد ثلاثة أيام للتعزية مكروه، وفي غيره: جاءت الرخصة ثلاثة أيام للرجال، وتركه أحسن. ويكره للمعزي أن يُعزي ثانيا. قاله في البحر الرائق». وفي العالمگيرية»: ولا بأس لأهل المصيبة أن يجلسوا في البيت أو في مسجد ثلاثة أيام، والناس يأتونهم ويعزونهم. ويكره الجلوس على باب الدار، وما يصنع في بلاد العجم من فرش البسط والقيام على قوارع الطرق من أقبح القبائح. كذا في «الظهيرية» انتهى.

وكذا في «البناية». وقال علي القاري: ظاهر الحديث أن جلوسه في المسجد كان للعزاء، لكن قال ابن الهمام: يجوز الجلوس للمصيبة ثلاثة أيام، وهو خلاف الأولى ويكره في المسجد. فلعله محمول على الاختصاص، أو لبيان الجواز، أو كان جلوسه في المسجد اتفاقيا انتهى. وفي رد المحتار» ناقلا عن الإمداد»: وقال كثير من متأخري أئمتنا: يكره الاجتماع عند صاحب البيت، ويكره له الجلوس في بيته حتى يأتي إليه من يعزي، بل إذا فرغ ورجع الناس من الدفن فليتفرقوا، ويشتغل الناس بأمورهم وصاحب البيت بأمره.

وَعَنِ الْبُخَارِيَّ تَعْلِيْقًا قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ الْحَسَنُ ابْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيَّ اللَّهِ ضَرَبَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ الْقُبَّةَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ رُفِعَتْ، فَسَمِعُوْا صَالِحًا يَقُوْلُ: أَلَا هَلْ وَجَدُوا مَا فَقَدُوْا؟ فَأَجَابَهُ الْآخَرُ: بَلْ يَئِسُوْا فَانْقَلَبُوا.

They heard Salih say, 'Have they found what they lost?' Another replied, 'No, they have despaired and returned.'"
