*Let's continue on these Hadiths*👇.                       Volume 2, Book 23, Number 359:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

When 'Abdullah bin Ubai (the chief of hypocrites) died, his son came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Please give me your shirt to shroud him in it, offer his funeral prayer and ask for Allah's forgiveness for him." So Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) gave his shirt to him and said, "Inform me (When the funeral is ready) so that I may offer the funeral prayer." So, he informed him and when the Prophet intended to offer the funeral prayer, 'Umar took hold of his hand and said, "Has Allah not forbidden you to offer the funeral prayer for the hypocrites? The Prophet said, "I have been given the choice for Allah says: '(It does not avail) Whether you (O Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites), or do not ask for forgiveness for them. Even though you ask for their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will not forgive them. (9.80)" So the Prophet offered the funeral prayer and on that the revelation came: "And never (O Muhammad) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (i.e. hypocrites) that dies." (9. 84)

Volume 2, Book 23, Number 449:

Narrated Abu Al-Aswad:

I came to Medina when an epidemic had broken out. While I was sitting with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab a funeral procession passed by and the people praised the deceased. 'Umar said, "It has been affirmed to him." And another funeral procession passed by and the people praised the deceased. 'Umar said, "It has been affirmed to him." A third (funeral procession) passed by and the people spoke badly of the deceased. He said, "It has been affirmed to him." I (Abu Al-Aswad) asked, "O chief of the believers! What has been affirmed?" He replied, "I said the same as the Prophet had said, that is: if four persons testify the piety of a Muslim, Allah will grant him Paradise." We asked, "If three persons testify his piety?" He (the Prophet) replied, "Even three." Then we asked, "If two?" He replied, "Even two." We did not ask him regarding one witness.

Little said about Abdullaah Bin Ubaiy the better for he was the chief of hypocrites. His son during his Dad's death came over to Prophet's for his shirt. Prophet have him for which he later came requesting Prophet to pray Janazah for him. Though People protested but he did for which the verse *Quran 8:84* was revealed. The verse prohibit us from leading or joining prayers for the unbelievers/hypocrites. This goes to some of is who goes to Christians funerals not to even talk of following the corpse to the cemetery.

Islam prohibit that. We all know we shouldn't immitate the Kuffars im their daily lives not to talk of how they burry the dead. We are prohibited from seeking forgiveness for the Kuffars but are encouraged to show condolence to them. We should chose our words rightfully not to sin. We should simply say *May Allah Grant a better person than the deseased to u family*. We can also tell them to take hear and that Allah knows the best for us. Attending their wake keeping you the extend of seeing the corpse is harram. We should simply tell them our religion prohibit that and they shall in Sha Allah understand us.

However should they not, then we should know we are here to please Mankind and not them. It is a big wrong reciting chapters of the Quran over the dead. *Yasin* can be Recite to on a dying person. Asking for forgiveness for the dead on the way to the graveyard is advised but shouldn't be done loudly. It can be done mutely. We all know prayer (swalt) isn't encouraged at the cemetery except Janazah. Janazah can be performed where there's no corpse. For instance someone died in Saudi and performing Janazah here in Ghana is no wrong.

  *كسوف*
*Salat-ul-Kusuf* is prayed at the time of solar eclipse and Salat-ul-Khusuf is prayed at the time of lunar eclipse.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“It is He Who made the sun a shining thing and the moon as a light and measured out for it stages that you might know the number of years and the reckoning. Allaah did not create this but in truth. He explains the Ayaat in detail for people who have knowledge.” *[Yoonus 10:5]*.

Eclipses are signs from Allaah by means of which Allaah makes His slaves afraid. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And We sent not the signs except to warn, and to make them afraid (of destruction)” *[al-Israa’ 17:39]*. When the sun was eclipsed at the time of the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), he went out rushing nervously to the mosque, dragging his cloak behind him, and led the people in prayer. He told them that the eclipse was one of the signs of Allaah, with which Allaah makes His slaves afraid, and that it may be the cause of punishment coming upon the people.

He commanded them to do that which could prevent the punishment, so he commanded them to pray when an eclipse happens, and to make du’aa’, seek His forgiveness, give charity, free slaves and do other righteous deeds so that the punishment would go away and not befall the people. So the eclipse is a reminder to people, making them afraid so that they will turn back to Allaah and pay attention to Him. During the Jaahiliyyah, people used to believe that eclipses happened to mark the birth or death of a great person, but the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) declared this belief to be false and explained the divine wisdom behind the occurrence of eclipses:

Imaam al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated that Ibn Mas’ood al-Ansaari said: “the sun was eclipsed the day Ibraaheem the son of the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, and the people said, ‘The sun is eclipsed because of the death of Ibraaheem.’ The Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The sun and the moon are two signs from Allaah, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or the birth of anyone. If you see that, hasten to remember Allaah and to pray.’” According to another hadeeth in al-Saheehayn: “Call on Allaah and pray until [the eclipse] is over.”.

End of Today's Education. Subhanakallahuma wabihamdik ash-Hadu an laaila Ilan Anta astagfiruka wa atuuubu ilayhi. *Our attention was drawn by a group member concerning the first episode of this lesson, which we forgot to indicate one has to recite Fatiha in the first rak’at of the janaza prayers. We all know we are to recite Durood Sharif( swalati ibrahim) in the second rakat*. May HE strengthen and make us steadfast in faith. May HE accept our ibaadat and grant us the Good in this World and the Hereafter. May Allah Azza wa jalla forgive and grant us Jannah...AMIN.
