Everyone between the hadith of the one who sits with the bereaved and is known for his grief, and the statement of Jarir ibn 'Abd Allah al-Bajali?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: Al-Hafiz mentioned in his commentary on the chapter of "The One Who Sits with the Bereaved and Is Known for His Grief" the hadith of 'Aishah. In this hadith, there is also the benefit of the permissibility of sitting with the bereaved with calmness and dignity. So how do you reconcile this with the statement of 'Abd Allah al-Bajali? The correct name is Jarir ibn 'Abd Allah al-Bajali. Yes.
Answer : The difference between them is that the hadith of Jarir is about the one who sits in his house and prepares food, where people gather with the family and prepare food. As for this one, he sat in the mosque, for example, in a state of grief, and this is different from that. Then, who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat in the mosque in grief for people to console him? Al-Bukhari’s (may Allah have mercy on him) inference is incorrect, because we cannot testify that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) sat in order for people to console him. Rather, he sat because he was struck by a calamity. It is the nature of a person, when struck by a severe calamity, to dislike sitting with people and talking to them, and to prefer to be alone in a place. Therefore, al-Bukhari’s argument and Ibn Hajar’s inference are all weak.
