حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَقَ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ کَعْبٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ عَمَّکَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِ أَبَاکَ ثُمَّ لَا تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّی تَأْتِيَنِي فَذَهَبْتُ فَوَارَيْتُهُ وَجِئْتُهُ فَأَمَرَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ وَدَعَا لِي
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3214
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: I said to the Prophet ﷺ: Your old and astray uncle has died. He said: Go and bury your father, and then do not do anything until you come to me. So I went, buried him and came to him. He ordered me (to take a bath), so I took a bath, and he prayed for me.
