পৃষ্ঠা 92: অষ্টম অধ্যায়: জীবিতদের সালাম ও কথাবার্তা মৃতদের শুনতে পাওয়া ও চেনার বিবরণ

...al-Barr. Abd al-Haqq al-Ishbili said: 'Its chain of transmission is authentic (sahih),' indicating that all of its narrators are trustworthy, and indeed they are, except that it is solitary (gharib), rather repudiated (munkar).

Abd al-A'la ibn Abd Allah ibn Abi Farwah narrated from Qatan ibn Wahb, from 'Ubayd ibn 'Umayr, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ), that when he returned from Uhud, he stood before Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions and said: "I bear witness that you are alive with Allah; so visit them and greet them with peace. For by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, no one greets them with peace except that they return his greeting until the Day of Resurrection." It was recorded by al-Bayhaqi and al-Hakim, who authenticated it.

It was also narrated by Yahya ibn 'Amr ibn Suhyan, from Mu'adh ibn Abd Allah, from Qatan ibn Wahb, from 'Ubayd Allah, in a mursal form.

It was also narrated by Yahya ibn al-'Ala' from Abd al-A'la ibn Abi Farwah, from Qatan ibn Wahb, from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet (ﷺ); it was recorded by al-Tabarani, and mentioning Ibn 'Umar in it is an error (wahm). It was also narrated from 'Ubayd ibn 'Umayr from Abu Dharr.

Perhaps the mursal transmission is more probable, and in general, weakness is more probable. In summary, this is a disordered (mudtarib) chain of transmission, and its text is specific to the martyrs, and this is more plausible than the hadith of Bishr ibn Bakr.

Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam narrated from his father, from 'Ata' ibn Yasar, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said: "No servant passes by the grave of a Muslim man whom he knew in this worldly life and greets him with peace, except that he recognizes him and returns his greeting." Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd: there is weakness in him, and there is divergence regarding its chain of transmission.

In the narration of Hisham ibn Sa'd from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Abu Hurayrah, it is mawquf (halted at the Companion), and he added to it: 'And if he passes by a grave of someone he does not know and greets him with peace, he returns his greeting.'

Abd Allah narrated it from Ibn Sim'an, who is abandoned (matruk), from Zayd ibn Aslam, from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: "No man visits the grave of his brother and sits by it, except that he feels comforted by him and returns his greeting until he departs." Both of them were recorded by Ibn Abi al-Dunya in the book "al-Qubur".

He also recorded in the book "Man 'Asha Ba'd al-Mawt" (Those Who Lived After Death), from the narration of 'Attaf ibn Khalid: 'My maternal aunt narrated to me, saying: I rode out one day to the graves of the martyrs and stopped at the grave of Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him), and not...'
