Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a baby cries out (at birth), he will inherit and the funeral prayer will be offered over him." The two Shaykhs did not use Isma'il bin Muslim as evidence.

Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at (the battle of) Khaybar, when a man from among us, of the tribe of Ashja', died. the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer the funeral prayer over this companion of yours (I will not pray over him)." When we searched (his belongings) to find the reason, we found in his belongings some beads from the beads of the Jews (from the spoils of war) that were not worth even two dirhams. People have narrated this hadith from Yahya bin Sa'id, and this Abu Amrah al-Juhani is a man well known for truthfulness, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man died in the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). A man came and said: "So-and-so has died." the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "He has not died." The man came a second time and said: "So-and-so has died." He (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: "He has not died." When he came the third time and said: "So-and-so has died," the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "How did he die?" He said that he had killed himself with a broad-headed arrow (mishqas) that he had with him. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not lead the funeral prayer over him. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it!

Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was called to a funeral, he would ask about the (deceased). If he was praised with good, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would lead the funeral prayer over him; and if something other than that (something bad) was said about him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to his family: "You see to his affair," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not lead the funeral prayer over him himself. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came (to Madinah), our practice was that when death approached one of us, we would inform the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He would come and seek forgiveness for him, until, when his soul had been taken, he (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions would remain there until the burial; and at times the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had to stay there for a very long time. When we feared that this caused hardship for him, some people said to others: "If we do not inform the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until the soul has been taken, and inform him after it has been taken, there will be no burden of hardship or long waiting upon him (peace and blessings be upon him)." So we began to do that, informing him after the deceased had died, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would come and lead the funeral prayer over him. Then sometimes he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go back and sometimes he would stay there until the burial. We remained on this practice for some time. Then we said among ourselves: "If we do not trouble the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and instead carry our funerals to him ourselves so that he (peace and blessings be upon him) may pray over them near his house, that would be easier for him (peace and blessings be upon him)." So we adopted this practice, and the matter has continued that way to this day. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it, and I dictated it earlier in abridged form.
