Sunan Ibn Majah 1501
It was
narrated that Jabir said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Abu
Bakr
and ‘Umar did not give us so much leeway in anything as they did
with regard to the prayer for the deceased,” meaning that there was
nothing affixed.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ مَا أَبَاحَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَلاَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلاَ عُمَرُ فِي شَىْءٍ مَا أَبَاحُوا فِي الصَّلاَةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي لَمْ يُوَقِّتْ ‏.‏
