حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ يُوصِي الْحَافِرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْسِعْ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْسِعْ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ دَاعِي امْرَأَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ وَجِيءَ بِالطَّعَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الْقَوْمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَكَلُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَظَرَ آبَاؤُنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَلُوكُ لُقْمَةً فِي فَمِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَجِدُ لَحْمَ شَاةٍ أُخِذَتْ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ أَهْلِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنِّي أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ يَشْتَرِي لِي شَاةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ أَجِدْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى جَارٍ لِي قَدِ اشْتَرَى شَاةً أَنْ أَرْسِلْ إِلَيَّ بِهَا بِثَمَنِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيَّ بِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَطْعِمِيهِ الْأَسَارَى .

We went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to a funeral, and I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم at the grave giving this instruction to the grave-digger: Make it wide on the side of his feet, and make it wide on the side of his head. When he came back, he was received by a man who conveyed an invitation from a woman. So he came (to her), to it food was brought, and he put his hand (i. e. took a morsel in his hand); the people did the same and they ate. Our fathers noticed that the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was moving a morsel around his mouth. He then said: I find the flesh of a sheep which has been taken without its owner's permission. The woman sent a message to say: Messenger of Allah, I sent (someone) to an-Naqi' to have a sheep bought for me, but there was none; so I sent (a message) to my neighbour who had bought a sheep, asking him to send it to me for the price (he had paid), but he could not be found. I, therefore, sent (a message) to his wife and she sent it to me. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Give this food to the prisoners.
