حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَهِيَّ، قَالَ لَمَّا مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْمَقَاعِدِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الطَّالْقَانِيِّ قِيلَ لَهُ حَدَّثَكُمُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى عَلَى ابْنِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعِينَ لَيْلَةً ‏.‏
When Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet (ﷺ) died, he prayed over him at the place where he used to sit. Abu Dawud said: I recited to Sa'id b. Ya'qub al-Taliqani saying: Ibn al-Mubarak transmitted to you from Ya'qub b. al-Qa'qa' on the authority of 'Ata that the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed over his son Ibrahim when he was seventeen days old.
