| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29095 | | Nafi Abu Ghalib said: I was in the Sikkat AlMirbad. A bier passed and a large number of people were accompanying it. They said: Bier of Abdullah Ibn Umayr. So I followed it. Suddenly I saw a man; who had a thin garment on riding his small mule. He had a piece of cloth on his head to protect himself from the sun. I asked: Who is this important man? People said: This is Anas Ibn Malik. When the bier was placed; Anas stood and led the funeral prayer over him while I was just behind him; and there was no obstruction between me and him. He stood near his head; and uttered four takbirs Allah is Most Great. He neither lengthened the prayer nor hurried it. He then went to sit down. They said: Abu Hamzah; here is the bier of an Ansari woman. They brought her near him and there was a green cupola-shaped structure over her bier. He stood opposite her hips and led the funeral prayer over her as he had led it over the man. He then sat down. AlAla Ibn Ziyad asked: Abu Hamzah; did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say the funeral prayer over the dead as you have done; uttering four takbirs Allah is Most Great over her; and standing opposite the head of a man and the hips of a woman? He replied: Yes. He asked: Abu Hamzah; did you fight with the Messenger of Allah? He replied: Yes. I fought with him in the battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came out and invaded us so severely that we saw our horses behind our backs. Among the people i.e. the unbelievers there was a man who was attacking us; and striking and wounding us with his sword. Allah then defeated them. They were then brought and began to take the oath of allegiance to him for Islam. A man from among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said: I make a vow to myself that if Allah brings the man who was striking us with his sword that day; I shall behead him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept silent and the man was brought as a captive. When he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; he said: Messenger of Allah; I have repented to Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped for a while receiving his oath of allegiance; so that the other man might fulfil his vow. But the man began to wait for the order of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for his murder. He was afraid of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to kill him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that he did not do anything; he received his oath of allegiance. The man said: Messenger of Allah; what about my vow? He said: I stopped receiving his oath of allegiance today so that you might fulfil your vow. He said: Messenger of Allah; why did you not give any signal to me? The Prophet ﷺ said: It is not worthy of a Prophet to give a signal. Abu Ghalib said: I asked the people about Anas standing opposite the hips of a woman. They told me that this practice was due to the fact that in the days of the Prophet there were no cupola-shaped structures over the biers of women. So the imam used to stand opposite the hips of a woman to hide her from the people.Abu Dawud said: The saying of the Prophet ﷺ I have been commanded to fight against the people until they say: There is no god bu Allah abrogated this tradition of fulfilling the vow by his remark: I have repented. | The Chapter on Standing For Prayers And Satan in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Where Should The Imam Stand In Relation To The Deceased When Offering The Funeral Prayer in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

Ibn Abu Sarh was one of them. He then narrated the tradition. He said: Ibn Abu Sarh hid himself with Uthman Ibn Affan. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called the people to take the oath of allegiance; he brought him and made him stand before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Messenger of Allah; receive the oath of allegiance from him. He raised his head and looked at him thrice; denying him every time. After the third time he received his oath. He then turned to his Companions and said: Is not there any intelligent man among you who would stand to this man when he saw me desisting from receiving the oath of allegiance; and kill him? They replied: We do not know; Messenger of Allah; what lies in your heart; did you not give us an hint with your eye? He said: It is not proper for a Prophet to have a treacherous eye.Abu Dawud said: Abdullah Bin Abi Sarh was the foster brother of Uthman; and Walid Bin Uqbah was his brother by mother; and Uthman inflicted on him hadd punishment when he drank wine. | The Chapter on Writing Oaths And Pledges in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Killing A Captive Without Inviting Him To Islam in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
