حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَرِضَ رَجُلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ جَارُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَرَجَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَجَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ:‏‏‏‏ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخْبِرْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَآهُ قَدْ نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ بِمِشْقَصٍ مَعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا يُدْرِيكَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْحَرُ نَفْسَهُ بِمَشَاقِصَ مَعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذًا لَا أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ .

A man fell ill and a cry was raised (for his death). So his neighbour came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said to him: He has died. He asked: Who told you? He said: I have seen him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised (for his death). He came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said: He has died. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised over him. His wife said: Go to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and inform him. The man said: O Allah, curse him. He said: The man then went and saw that he had killed himself with an arrowhead. So he went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and informed him that he had died. He asked: Who told you? He replied: I myself saw that he had killed himself with arrowheads. He asked: Have you seen him? He replied: Yes. He then said: Then I shall not pray over him.
