[41] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَطْرَحُ التُّرَابَ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ فَيُمْسِكُهُ سَاعَةً فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ يَطْرَحُهُ وَ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَكُفٍّ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا عُمَرُ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ إِيمَاناً بِكَ وَ تَصْدِيقاً بِبَعْثِكَ هَذَا مَا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَسْلِيماً هَكَذَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ بِهِ جَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Umar Bin Azina who said, ‘I saw Abu Abdullah -asws spread the soil upon the decease.
So he -asws withheld it for a while in his -asws hand, then spread it, and he -asws did not increased upon three handfuls. So I asked him -asws about that, and he -asws said: ‘O Umar! I -asws was saying: ‘I -asws believe in You -azwj , and ratify Your -azwj Resurrection. [33:22] This is what Allah and His Rasool promised us, and Allah and His Rasool spoke the truth up to His -azwj Words ( and it only increased them in faith and ) submission ’.
This what Rasool-Allah -saww used to do, and by it has the Sunnah flowed’. [42] Close Relatives must not Spread Soil over the Grave: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ مَاتَ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَلَدٌ فَحَضَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَلَمَّا أُلْحِدَ تَقَدَّمَ أَبُوهُ فَطَرَحَ عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بِكَفَّيْهِ وَ قَالَ لَا تَطْرَحْ عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُ ذَا رَحِمٍ فَلَا يَطْرَحْ عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) نَهَى أَنْ يَطْرَحَ الْوَالِدُ أَوْ ذُو رَحِمٍ عَلَى مَيِّتِهِ التُّرَابَ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘A son of one of the companions of Abu Abdullah -asws died.
So Abu Abdullah -asws attended (the funeral). So when he (the deceased) was placed in the chasm ( Lahad ), he -asws spread soil upon him. Abu Abdullah -asws grabbed with his palm and said: ‘None should spread the soil upon him, one who was a close relative of his, for Rasool-Allah -saww forbade the parent, or one with womb relationships, to spread soil upon the deceased ’.
