Hadith 1215
۞
35. Muhammad ibn al-Husayn has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn al-Fadhal from Ali ibn al-Nu‘man from Abu Maryam al-Ansari who has said the following
“Once I asked Abu Ja‘far (AS),’How was the prayer for the dead body of the Holy Prophet (SAW)?’
The Imam (AS) said: ‘When Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (AS) washed his body and he placed him in the shroud and covered his body then ten persons came in and they walked around him. Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (AS) then stood in the middle of them and said, ‘God showers His blessings upon the Prophet and the angels seek forgiveness for him. Believers, pray for the Prophet and greet him with, ‘Peace be with you.’ The group also continued reciting what the Imam (AS) said until the people of Medina and people of ‘Awali also said the prayer (for burial in the same way)’”
35ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الانْصَارِيِّ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ كَانَتِ الصَّلاةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ لَمَّا غَسَّلَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَكَفَّنَهُ سَجَّاهُ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَشَرَةً فَدَارُوا حَوْلَهُ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي وَسَطِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الله وَمَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً فَيَقُولُ الْقَوْمُ كَمَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَهْلُ الْعَوَالِي.
