حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ، عَنْ دِينَارٍ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَإِذَا نِسْوَةٌ جُلُوسٌ فَقَالَ " مَا يُجْلِسُكُنَّ " . قُلْنَ نَنْتَظِرُ الْجِنَازَةَ . قَالَ " هَلْ تَغْسِلْنَ " . قُلْنَ لاَ . قَالَ " هَلْ تَحْمِلْنَ " . قُلْنَ لاَ . قَالَ " هَلْ تُدْلِينَ فِيمَنْ يُدْلِي " . قُلْنَ لاَ . قَالَ " فَارْجِعْنَ مَأْزُورَاتٍ غَيْرَ مَأْجُورَاتٍ " .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out and saw some women sitting, and he said: ‘What are you sitting here for?’ They said: ‘We are waiting for the funeral.’ He said: ‘Are you going to wash the deceased?’ They said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Are you going to lower him into the grave?’ They said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Then go back with a burden of sin and not rewarded.’”
