حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ صَبِيحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمَّارٌ مَوْلَی الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ جَنَازَةَ أُمِّ کُلْثُومٍ وَابْنِهَا فَجُعِلَ الْغُلَامُ مِمَّا يَلِي الْإِمَامَ فَأَنْکَرْتُ ذَلِکَ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ وَأَبُو قَتَادَةَ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالُوا هَذِهِ السُّنَّةُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3193
Yahya ibn Subayh said: Ammar client of al-Harith ibn Nawfal told me that he attended the funeral of Umm Kulthum, and her son. The body of the boy was placed near the imam. I objected to it. Among the people there were Ibn Abbas, Abu Saeed al-Khudri, Abu Qatadah and Abu Hurairah. They said: This is the sunnah (established practice of the Prophet).
