حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْعَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ وَالنَّعْىُ أَذَانٌ بِالْمَيِّتِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ ‏.‏ وَأَبُو حَمْزَةَ هُوَ مَيْمُونٌ الأَعْوَرُ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ كَرِهَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ النَّعْىَ وَالنَّعْىُ عِنْدَهُمْ أَنْ يُنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّ فُلاَنًا مَاتَ لِيَشْهَدُوا جَنَازَتَهُ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُعْلِمَ أَهْلَ قَرَابَتِهِ وَإِخْوَانَهُ ‏.‏ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُعْلِمَ الرَّجُلُ قَرَابَتَهُ ‏.‏
(from the Prophet) similar (to no. 984), but he did not narrate it in Marfu form, and he did not mention in it: "An-Na'i is announcing of one's death."
Narrated by (Another chain) from Abdullah :

Context

This hadith discusses the practice of announcing a person's death, known as 'An-Na'i.'

Some scholars have expressed disapproval of the practice, while others believe it is acceptable to inform close relatives and friends about the deceased.

Modern Application

In contemporary society, the way we announce the passing of loved ones can vary widely. While some may opt for public announcements, others may prefer more private notifications to close family and friends, reflecting personal or cultural preferences.
