Virtue Of Participating In The Funeral Ṣalah Of A Wali

A person participated in the funeral Ṣalāĥ of Sayyidunā Sarī Saqaṭī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی. He saw Sayyidunā Sarī Saqaṭī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی in his dream at night and asked, ‘How did Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ treat you?’

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has forgiven me as well as all those who participated in my funeral Ṣalāĥ.’ The person said, ‘Yā Sayyidī! I also participated in your funeral Ṣalāĥ.’ Listening to this, Sayyidunā Sarī Saqaṭī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی took out a list and checked for his name therein but that person’s name was not present in the list; when checked thoroughly, he saw that the name of that person was written in the margin.

(Tārīkh Dimashq li Ibn ‘Asākir, vol. 20, pp. 198)

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless them and forgive us without any accountability for their sake!
