"Has he left any wealth" They said, "No" So, he led his funeral
prayer. Another dead manwas brought and the people said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Lead his funeral prayer." The Holy Prophet said, "Is he in
debt" They said, "Yes." He said, "Has he left any wealth" They said,
''Three Dinars." So, heled the prayer. Then a third dead man was
brought and the people said (to the Holy Prophet),Please lead his
funeral prayer." He said, "Has he left any wealth" They said, "No." He
asked, "Is he in debt" They said, ("Yes! He has to pay) three
Diners.', He (refused to pray and) said, "Then pray for your (dead)
companion." Abu Qatadah said, "O Allah's Apostle! Lead his funeral
prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the prayer. (Bukhari)
FASTING (HADEETH # 21 - 24)
Hadeeth 21
Ibn Abbas (Allah be well pleased with him) reports that a woman
traveled in a boat and pledged that should Allah save her life, she
would fast for a month. She was saved butshe did not fast before she
died. Her daughter or her sister asked the Holy Prophet about that and
heordered her to fast on behalf of the deceased woman. (Abu-Daud,
Nasai,Ahmad and others).
Hadeeth 22
"A woman came to the Holy Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him
peace) and said, 'I have given charity on behalf of my dead mother by
giving away her female servant.' The Holy Prophetanswered, 'You will
have its reward [and so will she] but return the femaleservant so that
the inheritance [may be properly divided].' The woman then said, 'She
used to owe fasts, can I fast on her behalf' He answered, 'You may
fast on her behalf. ' The woman then said, 'She didnot perform Hajj,
can I perform on her behalf' The Holy Prophet answered, 'Yes. You may
perform Hajj on her behalf. " (Tirmizi)
Hadeeth 23
Narrated `Aisha (Allah be well pleased with her): Allah's Apostle
said,"Whoever died and he ought to have fasted (the missed days of
Ramadan) then his guardians must fast on his behalf. " (Bukhari)
Hadeeth 24
Narrated Ibn `Abbas (Allahbe well pleased with him): A man came to the
Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! My mother died and she ought to have fasted one month (for
her missed Ramadan). Shall I fast on her behalf" The Holy Prophet
replied in the affirmative and said,"Allah's debts have more right to
be paid." In another narration a woman is reported to have said, "My
sister died..." (Bukhari)
READING OF QUR'AN AND ZIKR (HADEETH # 25 - 30)
Hadeeth 25
Narrated Abdullah Bin Umar (Allah be well pleased with him) that our
beloved Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has said, "that
if anyone dies amongst you then do not keep it, send it towards the
Kabr, and after burying it, Standbefore its head side and recite the
first Ruku of"Surah Bakarah", i.e. from Alif Laam Meem Zaalikal Kitaab
to Humul Muflihoon; and recite by it's feet side the last Ruku of
"Surah Bakarah", i.e. From Aamanar rasoolu tillthe end of the Surah,
Fansurna alal qumil kaafireen. (Mishkaat).
Hadeeth 26
The Holy Prophet said: "Recite Ya Seen [Qur'an 36] over your dead."
(Abu Daud, Nasai, Ibn Majah)
Hadeeth 27
Ata' ibn Abi Rabah (Allah be well pleased with him)said: I heard Ibn
`Umar (Allah be well pleased with him) say: I heard the Holy Prophet
say: "When one of you dies do not tarry, but make haste and take him
to his grave, and let someone read at his head the opening of Surah
Baqarah, and at his feet its closure when he lies in the grave."
(Tabarani)
Hadeeth 28
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What is
credited to a believer of his action and good deed after his death is
any useful knowledge he might have taught or spread, a Allah-fearing
child he might have left behind, a copy of the Qur'an he might have
left to an heir , a mosque he might have built, a house he might have
dedicated for use by travelers, a stream or river he might have caused
to run, a donation to charity (i.e. sadaqah) he might have set aside
when he was enjoying good health. All that catches up with him after
his death." (Ibn Majah).
The underlined words "a copy of the Qur'an he might have left to an
heir" are an ample proof that when the heir will read from it, the
reward will be passed on to the deceased.!!!
Hadeeth 29
Jaber reported: We came out with the Holy Prophet(peace and blessings
be upon him) to Saa'd bin Muaz when he expired. When the Holy Prophet
performed his funeral prayer, and he was buriedin his grave and the
earth was levelled upon him, the Holy Prophet read"Tasbeeh" and we
also recited "Tasbeeh" for a long time. Then he recited"Takbeer", so
we too recited "Takbeer". It was asked ";O the Messenger of Allah! Why
have you recited "Tasbeeh" and"Takbeer" He said, :->
