Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَجَرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَمَاتَتْ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ وَكَانَ يَتْبَعُ جِنَازَتَهَا عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ خَلْفَهَا فَجَعَلَ النِّسَاءُ يَبْكِينَ فَقَالَ لَا تَرْثِينَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ الْمَرَاثِي فَتُفِيضُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مِنْ عَبْرَتِهَا مَا شَاءَتْ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ قَامَ بَعْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ قَدْرَ مَا بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرَتَيْنِ يَدْعُو ثُمَّ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُ فِي الْجِنَازَةِ هَكَذَا.
English Translation
Husayn ibn Muhammad told us: Shu'bah told us, from Ibrahim al-Hajari, from Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa - and he was one of the Companions of the Tree. His daughter died, and he was following her funeral bier on a mule behind it. The women began to wail, so he said, "Do not wail laments, for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade wailing laments; let each of you shed as many tears as she wishes." Then he said the takbir four times over her, and after the fourth takbir he stood for as long as the interval between two takbirs, supplicating. Then he said, "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to do this at funerals."
