أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَيْفٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ حَضَرْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ جَنَازَةَ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِسَرِفَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هَذِهِ مَيْمُونَةُ إِذَا رَفَعْتُمْ جَنَازَتَهَا فَلاَ تُزَعْزِعُوهَا وَلاَ تُزَلْزِلُوهَا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ مَعَهُ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ فَكَانَ يَقْسِمُ لِثَمَانٍ وَوَاحِدَةٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْسِمُ لَهَا .
Abu Dawud Sulayman ibn Sayf reported to us; he said: Ja'far ibn Awn narrated to us; he said: Ibn Jurayj informed us, from Ata, who said: We attended with Ibn Abbas the funeral of Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), at Sarif. Ibn Abbas said: ‘This is Maymunah. When you lift her bier, do not jolt or shake it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had nine wives; he allotted turns to eight, while there was one for whom he did not allot a turn.’
Translation notes
The account identifies Maymunah’s funeral at Sarif and reports Ibn Abbas’s instruction about carrying the bier. The final clause says that the Prophet allotted turns to eight of his nine wives and not to one; it does not name that wife here.
