Clarification of the validity of the chains of narration and texts of the following hadith: (Whoever washes a corpse and keeps it secret, Allah forgives him forty major sins).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : There are two issues concerning the fact that: Riyad as-Salihin 928, in the other narration there is no explicit mention of: major sins, but rather it said: , and we said last night that we had not noticed this difference to verify in the narration: is each one valid in itself, in which case it is stopped as we mentioned, or is one established and the other weak. I promised you that I would bring you an answer in this lesson, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has made it easy, so here I am doing it: the hadith here, regarding the first narration, which is his saying: Riyad as-Salihin 928: he says: "It was narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Kabir, and its narrators are relied upon in the Sahih." As for the narration: Riyad as-Salihin 928, he attributed it to al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak and said: "Authentic according to the conditions of Muslim." So naturally, I returned to these two sources. The first source: al-Tabarani's al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, which narrated the first narration with the wording: , and I found in the chain, as the author said, that its men are the men of the Sahih.
He who washes a dead body and conceals what he notices of physical defects, he will be forgiven forty times
مَن غسَّل ميتًا وكتم عليه غفر الله له أربعين كبيرةforty times
أربعين مرةand conceals what he notices of physical defects, he will be forgiven forty times
فكتم عليه غفر الله له أربعين كبيرةhe will be forgiven forty times
غفر الله له أربعين مرةforty major sins
أربعين كبيرة
