3-266 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه، عن علي عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ثلاثة لا أدري أيهم أعظم جرما الذي يمشي مع الجنازة بغير رداء، والذي يقول: ارفقوا به، والذي يقول: استغفروا له غفر الله لكم

3-266 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted Al-Nawfaly, on the authority of Al-Sakoony, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad (MGB) , on the authority of his father (MGB) , on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “Of the following three I do not really know which one is a greater offense than the others. The first is following a funeral procession without one’s robe. The second is saying ‘be benign to him.’ And the third one is saying ‘Seek God’s forgiveness for him. May God forgive you. (when attending a funeral procession).’”
