Chapter on Instructing the Dying (Talqin al-Muhtadarin)

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ:« ثَلاَثَةٌ مَا أَدْرِي أَيُّهُمْ أَعْظَمُ جُرْماً اَلَّذِي يَمْشِي مَعَ اَلْجَنَازَةِ بِغَيْرِ رِدَاءٍ أَوِ اَلَّذِي يَقُولُ قِفُوا أَوِ اَلَّذِي يَقُولُ اِسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ غَفَرَ اَللَّهُ لَكُمْ».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ibrahim ibn Hashim, from Al-Nawfali, from Al-Sakuni, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام, from his forefathers عليه السلام, who said: The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "There are three people whose sin I do not know which is greater: The one who walks with a funeral procession without a cloak, The one who says 'Stop (the procession),' Or the one who says 'Seek forgiveness for him, may Allah forgive you.'"
