Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After me, some rulers will be imposed over you; a righteous person will be your ruler along with his righteousness, and a sinner will be your ruler along with his sins. You must obey and follow them in that which is in accordance with the truth, and continue to perform prayers behind them. If they do good, you will receive your reward and they will receive theirs, and if they do evil, you will receive your reward and they will bear their sin."

Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: There are four qualities which I heard from the tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I have not mentioned them to you before; today I will tell you about them. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“Do not declare anyone from the people of the Qiblah to be an unbeliever because of a sin, even if he commits a major sin. And perform prayer behind every Imam, and perform jihad with every leader (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) or fight with them. And the fourth thing is: speak only good about Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Umar, Uthman, and Ali, and say: That was a community that has passed away; for them is what they earned, and for you is what you earn of good deeds.”

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer the funeral prayer for every person who professes 'La ilaha illallah', and perform prayer behind every person who professes 'La ilaha illallah'."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer the funeral prayer for every person who professes La ilaha illallah, and pray behind every person who professes La ilaha illallah."

The same narration is also transmitted with another chain from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, from the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is obligatory upon you to perform prayer behind every Muslim, whether he is righteous or sinful, even if he commits major sins. And it is obligatory upon you to perform jihad with every leader, whether he is righteous or sinful, even if he commits major sins. And it is obligatory upon you to perform the funeral prayer for every Muslim who passes away, whether he is righteous or sinful, even if he commits major sins."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is among the fundamental teachings of the religion that prayer will be performed behind every righteous and sinful person, and jihad will be undertaken with every leader. You will receive your reward, and the funeral prayer will be performed for every deceased person among the people of the Qiblah."

Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do not declare the people of the Qiblah as disbelievers, even if they commit major sins, and perform prayer behind every imam, and participate in jihad with every leader, and offer the funeral prayer for every deceased.”The narrator of this narration, Abu Sa’id, is unknown.

Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates similarly from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), however, in it are these words:“Offer the funeral prayer for every deceased person among the people of the Qiblah.”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perform prayer behind every righteous and sinful person, perform the funeral prayer for every righteous and sinful person, and participate in jihad alongside every righteous and sinful person." The narrator named Mak'hool did not hear hadith from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and apart from this, the narrators are trustworthy.
