Paradise.”

They asked, “Messenger of Allah, should we not rely on what has already been written for us?”

He replied, “Act, for each person will find it easy to do what he was created for,” and he mentioned the rest of the ḥadīth. Agreed upon.

161 – Chapter: Supplicating for the deceased after burial and sitting at his grave for a time to pray for him, seek forgiveness, and recite (the Qur’an)

953 – Abu ʿAmr—some said Abu ʿAbd Allah, others Abu Laylā—ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Prophet ﷺ finished burying the deceased, he would stand over the grave and say, “Seek forgiveness for your brother and ask that he be granted steadfastness (1), for he is now being questioned.” Related by Abū Dāwūd.

954 – ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “When you have buried me, remain around my grave for the length of time it takes to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat, so that I may feel at ease with your presence and know how to answer my Lord’s messengers.” Related by Muslim, and its full wording has preceded (2).

Al-Shāfiʿī (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “It is recommended to recite some Qur’an at the graveside; if they complete the entire Qur’an there, that is excellent.” (3)

(1) That is: when the two angels question him. (2) Hadith no. 716. (3) I say: I do not know where Imam al-Shafii, may Allah have mercy on him, is reported to have said this, and I seriously doubt that the attribution to him is sound. How could it be so when his well-known position, as cited by al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir in his commentary on the verse “and that man shall have only what he strives for” (al-Najm 53:39), is that the reward of Quranic recitation cannot be gifted to the dead? Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya likewise notes in Al-Iqtida that no statement from al-Shafii on this issue has been preserved, “for he regarded it as an innovation. Malik said: ‘We have never known anyone who did that,’ which shows that the Companions and the Successors did not practise it.” I add that this is also the view of Ahmad—that no recitation is to be performed at the grave—as I established in my book Ahkam al-Janaiz (pp. 192–93). It is likewise the conclusion reached by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya, as I demonstrated in the same work (pp. 173–76). – N.
الْجَنَّةِ » فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نَتَّكِلُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا ؟ فَقَالَ : « اعْمَلُوا ؛ فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ » وَذَكَرَ تَمَامَ الْحَدِيثِ . متفق عليه . ١٦١ - باب الدعاء للميت بعد دفنه والقعود عند قبره ساعة للدعاء له والإستغفار والقراءة ٩٥٣ - وعن أبي عمرو - وقيل أبو عبد الله ، وقيل : أبو ليلى - عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه قال : كان النبي ﷺ إذا فرغ من دفن الميت وقف عليه ، وقال : « اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِأَخِيكُمْ وَسَلُّوا لَهُ التَّثْبِيتَ (١) ، فَإِنَّهُ الْآنَ يُسْأَلُ » رواه أبو داود . ٩٥٤ - وعن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنه قال : إذا دفنتموني ، فأقيموا حول قبري قدر ما تنحر جزور ، ويقسم لحمها حتى أستأنس بكم ، وأعلم ماذا أراجع به رسل ربي ، رواه مسلم . وقد سبق بطوله (٢) . قال الشافعي رحمه الله : ويستحب أن يقرأ عنده شيء من القرآن ، وإن ختموا القرآن عنده كان حسناً (٣) .
(١) أي : عند سؤال الملكين له . (٢) حديث رقم (٧١٦) . (٣) « قلت : لا أدري أين قال ذلك الشافعي رحمه الله تعالى ، وفي ثبوته عنه شك كبير عندي ، كيف لا ومذهبه أن القراءة لا يصل إهداء ثوابها إلى الموتى كما نقله عنه الحافظ ابن كثير في تفسير قوله تعالى : ﴿ وَأَنْ لَيْسَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَى ﴾ [ النجم : ٣٩ ] ، وقد أشار شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية إلى عدم ثبوت ذلك عن الإمام الشافعي بقوله في « الإقتضاء » : ( لا يحفظ عن الشافعي نفسه في هذه المسألة كلام ، وذلك لأن ذلك كان عنده بدعة . وقال مالك : ما علمنا أحداً فعل ذلك ، فعلم أن الصحابة والتابعين ما كانوا يفعلون ذلك ) . قلت : وذلك هو مذهب أحمد - أيضاً - : أن لا قراءة على القبر . كما أثبته في كتابي « أحكام الجنائز » ( ص ١٩٢ - ١٩٣ ) . وهو ما انتهى إليه رأي شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية - رحمه الله تعالى - كما حققته في الكتاب المذكور ( ص ١٧٣ - ١٧٦ ) - ن - .
