أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَخَاکُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ فَصَفَفْنَا عَلَيْهِ صَفَّيْنِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1979
It was narrated from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Your brother has died, so get up and offer the funeral prayer for him.” So we formed two rows to pray for him. (Sahih)
