The reciter: Hareen ibn Ma'ruf, and Hareen ibn Sa'id al-Ayli, and al-Walid ibn Shuja' al-Sakuni, said al-Walid: Ibn Wahb narrated to me, and the other two said: Ibn Wahb narrated to us. Abu Sakhr informed me from Sharik ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Numayr, from Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, from Abdullah ibn Abbas, Mishkat al-Masabih 1660 And in the narration of Ibn Ma'ruf: from Sharik ibn Abi Numayr, from Kuraib, from Ibn Abbas.
The Shaykh : This hadith contains an addition to the previous hadith, because the previous one was one hundred and this one is forty. It is known that whoever prayed for one hundred has also prayed for forty, but whoever prayed for forty did not necessarily have one hundred pray for him. So we take the addition and say: whoever forty men who do not associate anything with Allah pray for, Allah intercedes for him through them.
that a son of ‘Abdallah b. ‘Abbas died in Qudaid or ‘Usfan and he asked him to go out and see how many people had gathered for the funeral. Going out and finding that people had gathered for the funeral, he told him. Ibn ‘Abbas asked him if he thought there would be forty present, and when he replied that that was so, he gave orders for the body to be brought out, adding that he had heard God’s messenger say, "If any Muslim man dies and forty men who associate nothing with God stand over his bier, God will accept them as intercessors for him.”
أَنَّهُ مَاتَ ابْنٌ لَهُ بِقُدَيْدٍ - أَوْ بِعُسْفَانَ - فَقَالَ: يَا كُرَيْبُ، انْظُرْ مَا اجْتَمَعَ لَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ، فَإِذَا نَاسٌ قَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا لَهُ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: تَقُولُ هُمْ أَرْبَعُونَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَخْرِجُوهُ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ، فَيَقُومُ عَلَى جَنَازَتِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا، لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا، إِلَّا شَفَّعَهُمُ اللهُ فِيهِThe Shaykh : This hadith contains an addition to the previous hadith, because the previous one was one hundred and this one is forty.
