Bulugh al-Maram #671
Funerals
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -يُكَبِّرُ عَلَى جَنَائِزِنَا أَرْبَعًا وَيَقْرَأُ بِفَاتِحَةِ اَلْكِتَابِ فِي اَلتَّكْبِيرَةِ اَلْأُولَى } رَوَاهُ اَلشَّافِعِيُّ بِإِسْنَادٍ ضَعِيفٍ 1 .1 - رواه الشافعي في "المسند" (1/209/578) وسنده ضعيف جدا من أجل شيخ الشافعي ابن أبي يحيى فهو "متروك" وأعله الصنعاني في "السبل" بعلة ليست بعلة.
Jabir (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say four Takbirat over the dead, and would recite al-Fatihah in (after saying) the first (opening) Takbirat.’ Related by Ash-Shafi’i with a weak chain of narrators.
