Statement on visiting the family of the deceased after three days to offer condolences

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the statement of 'Abdullah ibn Ja'far that he gave the family of Ja'far three days, and then he visited them in their grief, does this not establish the recommended practice (sunnah) of visiting the family of the deceased in their homes to offer condolences?

The Shaykh:
In any case, if the need arises for this matter for the sake of their glorification of Allah, their preaching, and their reminding of the people, it is good. Yes. Yes, do you have [a question]?

Another questioner:
This hadith was narrated with this wording by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih, and he graded it authentic, and by Abu Ya'la, Ibn Sa'd, and al-Bayhaqi in Dala'il al-Nubuwwah, where he said it is authentic. It was also narrated by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and al-Tayalisi.

The Shaykh:
Because the purpose is to trace the hadiths of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] to see the wording of the two Shaykhs, because the original source is the two Sahihs. Yes.
