a lamp, and he took him from the side of the Qiblah, and said: "May Allah have mercy on you, you were truly compassionate and one who recited the Quran frequently" (17). Al-Tirmidhi said: This is a Hasan (sound) hadith. It is also reported that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) asked about a man and said: "Who is this?" They said: So-and-so, he was buried last night. So he prayed over him. Narrated by al-Bukhari (18). He did not disapprove of them for that, and because it is one of the two times (19), burial is permitted during it just as during the day. The hadith regarding the prohibition is interpreted as referring to Makruh (disliked) and disciplinary [reasons]; for burial during the day is more appropriate, as it is easier for those following the funeral (20), results in more people praying over them, and allows for better adherence to the Sunnah regarding their burial and the placement into the niche (lahd).
390 - Issue: He said: (The Imam shall not pray over the one who misappropriated [from the war booty] (1), nor over (2) one who killed himself.)
The misappropriator (ghall) is the one who conceals his war booty or a portion of it, in order to take it for himself and keep it exclusively. The Imam does not pray over such a person, nor over one who killed himself intentionally. The rest of the people, however, may pray over them both. [Ahmad explicitly stated this] (4). Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz and al-Awza‘i said: One must not pray over the suicide victim under any circumstances, because the one whom the Imam does not pray over, others should not pray over either, like the martyr of the battlefield.

سِرَاجٌ، فأخَذَ مِن قِبَلِ القِبْلَة، وقال: "رَحِمَكَ اللهُ، إنْ كُنْتَ لَأَوَّاهًا، تَلَّاءً لِلْقُرْآنِ" (١٧). قال التِّرْمِذِىُّ: هذا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. ورُوِىَ أنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- سَألَ عن رَجُلٍ، فقال: "مَنْ هَذَا؟ " قالوا: فُلَانٌ، دُفِنَ البارِحَةَ. فصَلَّى عليه. أخْرَجَهُ البُخَارِىُّ (١٨). فلم يُنْكِرْ عليهم، ولأنَّه أحَدُ الزَّمَنَيْن (١٩)، فجَازَ الدَّفْنُ فيه كالنَّهَارِ، وحديثُ الزَّجْرِ مَحْمُولٌ على الكَرَاهَةِ والتَّأْدِيبِ؛ فإنَّ الدَّفْنَ نَهَارًا أوْلَى؛ لأنَّه أسْهَلُ على مُتَّبِعِيها (٢٠)، وأكْثَرُ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ عليها، وأمْكَنُ لاتِّبَاعِ السُّنَّةِ في دَفْنِه وإلْحادِهِ.
٣٩٠ - مسألة؛ قال: (وَلَا يُصَلِّى الْإِمَامُ عَلَى الغَالِّ [مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ] (١)، ولَا عَلَى (٢) مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ)
الغَالُّ: هو الذي يَكْتُمُ غَنِيمَتَه أو بعضَها، لِيَأْخُذَه لِنَفْسِه، ويَخْتَصَّ به. فهذا لا يُصَلِّى عليه الإِمامُ، ولا على مَن قَتَلَ نَفْسَه مُتَعَمِّدًا. ويُصَلِّى عليهما (٣) سائرُ النَّاسِ. نَصَّ [أحمدُ على هذا] (٤). وقال عمرُ بنُ عبدِ العزِيزِ، والأوْزَاعِىُّ: لا يُصَلَّى على قَاتِلِ نَفْسِهِ بِحَالٍ؛ لأنَّ مَن لا يُصَلِّى عليه الإِمامُ لا يُصَلِّى عليه غيرُه، كشَهِيدِ
