A man from among the Bedouins came to the Prophet and believed in him and followed him, then he said: I will emigrate with you. The Prophet told one of his Companions to look after him. During one battle the Prophet got some prisoners as spoils of war, and he distributed them, giving him (that Bedouin) a share. His Companions gave him what had been allocated to him. He had been looking after some livestock for them, and when he came they gave him his share. He said: What is this? They said: A share that the Prophet has allocated to you. He took it and brought it to the Prophet and said: What is this? He said: I allocated it to your. He said: It is not for this that I follwed you. Rather I followed you so that I might be shot her - and he pointed to his throat - with an arrow and die and enter Paradise. He said: If you are sincere toward Allah, Allah will fulfill your wish. Shortly after that they got up to fight the enemy, then he was brought to the Prophet; he had pointed to. The Prophet said: Is it him? They said: yes. He said: He was sincere toward Allah and Allah fulfilled his wish. Then the Prophet shrouded him in his own cloak and out him in front of him and offered the (funeral) prayer for him. During his supplication he said: O allah, this is Your sloave who went out as a emigrant (Muhajir) for your sake and was killed as a martyr; I am a witness to that.: (Sahih) .

Jabir bin 'Abdullah رضی الله عنہما told him that: the Messenger of Allah put two men from those who had been slain in Uhud in one shrud, then he would ask which of them had learned more Qur'an and when one of them was pointed out, he would put him in the Lahd (grave) first. He said: I am a witness to these. And he ordered that they be buried with their blood, and that the funeral prayer should not be offered, and they should not be washed.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Ka 'b bin Malik that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَنُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاعْتَرَفَ بِالزِّنَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ اعْتَرَفَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ اعْتَرَفَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ ؟ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَحْصَنْتَ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرُجِمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ فَرَّ فَأُدْرِكَ فَرُجِمَ فَمَاتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرًا وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ.

A man from Aslam came to the Prophet and confessed to committing Zina, and he turned away from him. He admitted it again, and he turned away from him. He admitted it again, and he turned away from him. Then when he had testified against himself four times, the Prophet said: Are your crazy? He said: No. He said: Have you been marred? he said: Yes. So the Prophet ordered that he be stoned. When the stones struck him, he ran away, but they caught up with him and stoned him and he died. Then the Prophet spoke well of him but he did not pray for him.

It was narrated from Jabir bin Abdullah رضی الله عنہما that

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهِيَ حُبْلَى فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى وَلِيِّهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَأْتِنِي بِهَا ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ جَاءَ بِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ثُمَّ رَجَمَهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ تَوْبَةً أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .

A woman from Juhainah came to the Messenger of Allah sand said: I have committed Zina. And she was committed Zina. And She was pregnant. He handed her over to her guardian and said: Look after her, and when she gave birth, he brought her to him. He ordered that her garment be wrapped around her, then he offered the funeral prayer for her. 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said to him: Are you praying for her even though she committed Zina? he said: She has repented in a manner that, if it were to be shared among seventy of the people of Al-Madinah it would suffice them. Have you ever seen repentance better than the one who sacrificed herself for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime?

It was narrated from Imran bin Husain رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَاذَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ سِتَّةً مَمْلُوكِينَ لَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَغَضِبَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ دَعَا مَمْلُوكِيهِ فَجَزَّأَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَعْتَقَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً .

A man freed six slaves of his when he was dying, and he did not have any wealth apart from them. News of that reached the Prophet and he was angry about that. He said: I was thinking of not offering the funeral prayer for him. Then he called the slaves and divided them into three groups. He cast lost among them, then freed two and left four as slaves.

It was narrated from 'Imran bin Husain رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ بِخَيْبَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ إِنَّهُ غَلَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ،‏‏‏‏ فَفَتَّشْنَا مَتَاعَهُ فَوَجَدْنَا فِيهِ خَرَزًا مِنْ خَرَزِ يَهُودَ مَا يُسَاوِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ.

A man died at Khaibar and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Pray for your companion; he stole from the spoils war.' We inspected his luggage and fund some of the beads of the Jews that were not even worth two Dirhams.

It was narrated that Zaid bin Khalid رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ عَلَيَّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ بِالْوَفَاءِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِالْوَفَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.

A man was brought to the Prophet for him to offer the funeral prayer, and he said: Pray for your companion, for he owes a debt. Abu Qatadah رضی اللہ عنہ said: I will pay it. The Prophet said: In full? He said: In full. So he prayed for him

Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah narrated from his father that

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجَنَازَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا ؟ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.

A Janazah was brought to the Prophet and they said: O Prophet of Allah, pray for him.' He said: Did he leave any debt behind?' They said: Yes.' He said 'Did he leave anything?' They said: No. He said; 'Pray fro your companion.' A man among the Ansar who was called Abu Qatadah said: 'Pray for him and I will pay off his debt.' So he prayed for him.

Salamah - meaning, bin Al-Akwa' رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْقَوْمَسِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَجُلٍ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَأُتِيَ بِمَيْتٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَسَأَلَ:‏‏‏‏ أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ ؟ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَلَيْهِ دِينَارَانِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ:‏‏‏‏ هُمَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا فَعَلَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ .

The Prophet would not pray for a man who owed a debt. A deceased person was brought to him and he said: 'Does he owe any debt?' They said: 'Yes, he owes two Dinars.' He said: 'Pray for your companion.' Abu Qatadah رضی الله عنہما said: 'I will pay them, O Messenger of Allah, So he prayed for him. Then, when Allah made His Messenger rich though conquest, he said: ' I am closer to each believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind a debt, I will pay it, and whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs.

It was narrated that Jabir رضی الله عنہما said

أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ سَأَلَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ تَرَكَ لِدَيْنِهِ مِنْ قَضَاءٍ ؟ فَإِنْ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَا قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَعَلَيَّ قَضَاؤُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَهُوَ لِوَرَثَتِهِ .

If a believer died with debts outstanding, the Messenger of Allah would ask whether he had left behind anything to pay off his debts. If they said yes, he would pray for him, but if they said no, he would say: Pray for your companion. Then, when Allah made His Messenger rich through conquest, he said: I am closer to the believers than their own selves. Whoever dies and leaves behind a debt, I will pay it, and whoever leavers behind wealth, it is for his heirs.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ زُهَيْرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ سَمُرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِمَشَاقِصَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ .

A man killed himself with an arrowhead and the Messenger of Allah said: As for me, I will not pray for him.

It was narrated from Jabir bin Samurah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعْتُ ذَكْوَانَ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ تَرَدَّى مِنْ جَبَلٍ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَهُوَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ يَتَرَدَّى خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ تَحَسَّى سُمًّا فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَسُمُّهُ فِي يَدِهِ يَتَحَسَّاهُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِحَدِيدَةٍ ثُمَّ انْقَطَعَ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ خَالِدٌ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَتْ حَدِيدَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ يَجَأُ بِهَا فِي بَطْنِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا .

The Prophet said: Whoever throws himself, he will be in the Fire of Hell, throwing himself down forever and ever. And whoever kills himself with a piece of iron - then I missed something ( one of the narrators) Khalid said- will have his piece of iron in his hand, stabbing himself in the stomach in the Fire of Hell, forever and ever.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ دُعِيَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَثَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ تُصَلِّي عَلَى ابْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَقَدْ قَالَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا كَذَا وَكَذَا أُعَدِّدُ عَلَيْهِ ؟ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخِّرْ عَنِّي يَا عُمَرُ ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي قَدْ خُيِّرْتُ فَاخْتَرْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنِّي لَوْ زِدْتُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ غُفِرَ لَهُ لَزِدْتُ عَلَيْهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَمْكُثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الْآيَتَانِ مِنْ بَرَاءَةَ وَلا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ سورة التوبة آية 84 فَعَجِبْتُ بَعْدُ مِنْ جُرْأَتِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ.

When 'Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Soul died, the Messenger of Allah was called upon to offer the funeral prayer for him. When the Messenger of Allah stood up (to offer the prayer), I got up quickly and said: 'O Messenger of Allah Are you going to pray for Ibn Ubayy when he said such-and-such an occasion?' And I stated to list all the things that he had said. The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: 'Leave me alone, O 'Umar.' When I spoke too much he said: 'I have been given the choice and I have chosen (to offer the prayer for him). If I knew that he could be forgiven by asking Allah's forgiveness more than seventy times, I would have done so.' The Messenger of Allah offered the funeral prayer for him, and then left. A short while later, the two Verses form surah Bara were revealed: 'And never pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and died while they were rebellious.' Later I was astonished by my audacity toward the Messenger of Allah on that day. And Allah and His Messenger know best.

It was narrated that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab رضی الله عنہ said
