حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ مَا أَبَاحَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ وَلَا عُمَرُ فِي شَيْئٍ مَا أَبَاحُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَی الْمَيِّتِ يَعْنِي لَمْ يُوَقِّتْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1501
It was narrated that Jabir said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H Abu Bakr and 'Umar did not give us so much leeway in anything as they did with regard to the prayer for the deceased," meaning that there was nothing affixed. (Da'if)
