and sound. Abū Fākhitah’s name is Saīd ibn Alāqah.” I say: Thuwayr is weak. Nevertheless, this hadith of his is sound, for it has numerous supporting reports that attest to its meaning, some of which al-Bukhārī included in the “Book of Gifts” in his Sahih.

474 - (Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, reported that he said to her: “I have given the Negus a robe and several ounces of silk as a gift.” Ahmad and al-Tabarānī) p. 333.

Weak. It is documented in al-Irwā (1620) through the narrations of Ahmad and Ibn Hibbān, with the wording “musk” instead of “silk.”

475 - (A funeral procession passed by the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he stood up for it. He was told, “O Messenger of Allah, it is the funeral of a Jew.” He replied, “Is it not a soul?” Al-Bukhārī).

Sound. It was transmitted by al-Bukhārī (330/1), as well as Muslim (58/3) and al-Nasāī (272/1), through Abd al-Rahmān ibn Abī Laylā, who said:

“Sahl ibn Hunayf and Qays ibn Sad were seated in al-Qādisiyyah when a funeral procession passed by them, so they stood up. They were told, ‘It is one of the people of the land,’ meaning one of the protected non-Muslim subjects. They replied, ‘A funeral procession passed by the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he stood up. He was told . . .’” to the end of the hadith.

(A useful note) This hadith was abrogated by sound hadiths that explicitly state its abrogation. I cited some of them in my book Ahkām al-Janāiz wa-Bidauhā (Funeral Rulings and Their Innovations). May Allah, by His grace and generosity, facilitate the completion of its printing.(1)

476 - (The hadith stating that a man found a dog panting from thirst, so he descended into a well, filled his leather boot with water from it, and gave the dog water until it had drunk its fill. . .
