حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ الجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: >يَا عَلِيُّ! ثَلَاثٌ لَا تُؤَخِّرْهَا: الصَّلَاةُ إِذَا أَتَتْ، وَالجَنَازَةُ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ، وَالأَيِّمُ إِذَا وَجَدْتَ لَهَا كُفْئًا<

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَمَا أَرَى إِسْنَادَهُ بِمُتَّصِلٍ.

Translation

Ḥadīth [1075]: It is narrated on the authority of ‘Alī bin Abī Ṭālib ^{[d. 40H]} (may Allāh be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said to him: “O ‘Alī! Three are not to be delayed: Ṣalāt (prayer) when it is due, the funeral when it is presented, and (marriage) for the single woman when someone compatible is found.”
