Hadith 673
۞
1. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Qasem bin Muhammed al-Esbahani, from Sulayman bin Dawud al-Manqari, from Hammad bin Isa, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he looked at the graves and said
O Hammad, these are the containers of the dead. He then looked at the houses and said: These are the containers of the living. Then he recited this verse: «Have We not made the earth a container? Of the living and the dead?» (77:25-26) It has been narrated that it refers to the burial of hair and nails.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن القاسم بن محمد الأصبهاني، عن سليمان بن داود المنقري، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام أنه نظر إلى المقابر فقال
يا حماد هذه كفات الأموات ونظر إلى البيوت فقال: هذه كفات الاحياء ثم تلا [هذه الآية] " ألم نجعل الأرض كفاتا * أحياء وأمواتا ". وروي أنه دفن الشعر والظفر.
