Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ بَعْدَمَا أُدْخِلَ حُفْرَتَهُ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَاخْرُج فَوَضعه على رُكْبَتَيْهِ ن فَنَفَثَ فِيهِ مِنْ رِيقِهِ وَأَلْبَسَهُ قَمِيصَهُ قَالَ: وَكَانَ كسا عباسا قَمِيصًا الْمَشْي بالجنازة وَالصَّلَاة عَلَيْهَا

Translation

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to Abdullah ibn Ubayy after he had been placed in his grave. He ordered that he be taken out, then placed him on his knees, blew some of his saliva upon him, and clothed him with his shirt. It is also said that he had given al-Abbas a shirt. ‘Walking with the funeral procession and performing the funeral prayer.’

Translation notes
  • The source has an isolated ن after ‘on his knees’ and ends with the phrase المشي بالجنازة والصلاة عليها, which appears as an unconnected fragment. The phrase is translated separately as it appears; its relation to the preceding report is unclear.
