Sahih Muslim 2253 — Book 11, Hadith 129

وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَمُرُّوا بِجَنَازَتِهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَيُصَلِّينَ عَلَيْهِ فَفَعَلُوا فَوُقِفَ بِهِ عَلَى حُجَرِهِنَّ يُصَلِّينَ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرِجَ بِهِ مِنْ بَابِ الْجَنَائِزِ الَّذِي كَانَ إِلَى الْمَقَاعِدِ فَبَلَغَهُنَّ أَنَّ النَّاسَ عَابُوا ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا مَا كَانَتِ الْجَنَائِزُ يُدْخَلُ بِهَا الْمَسْجِدَ ‏.‏ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ مَا أَسْرَعَ النَّاسَ إِلَى أَنْ يَعِيبُوا مَا لاَ عِلْمَ لَهُمْ بِهِ ‏.‏ عَابُوا عَلَيْنَا أَنْ يُمَرَّ بِجَنَازَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى سُهَيْلِ ابْنِ بَيْضَاءَ إِلاَّ فِي جَوْفِ الْمَسْجِدِ ‏.‏

Translation

Rapporté par ‘Abbad ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Zubair رضي الله عنه d’après ‘Aïsha رضي الله عنها : Lorsque Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas est décédé, les épouses du Messager d’Allah ﷺ ont envoyé un message pour qu’on apporte sa civière dans la mosquée afin qu’elles puissent prier pour lui. Ils ont fait ainsi : la civière a été placée devant leurs appartements et elles ont prié pour lui. On l’a ensuite sortie par la porte appelée Bab al-Jana’iz, du côté de Maqa’id. La nouvelle est parvenue aux épouses du Prophète ﷺ que les gens avaient critiqué cette pratique, disant qu’il n’était pas souhaitable d’apporter la civière dans la mosquée. Cela fut rapporté à ‘Aïsha رضي الله عنها, qui répondit : « Comme les gens critiquent vite ce qu’ils connaissent mal ! Ils nous reprochent d’avoir apporté la civière dans la mosquée, alors que le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a bien accompli la prière funéraire de Suhail ibn Baida’ dans la partie la plus intérieure de la mosquée. »
