Abu Umamah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) Drives Away Women from a Janazah

Question

Can you mention the reference for this and the Arabic text?

“‘Amr ibn Qays reported that we were at a funeral and Abu Umamah saw women present so he chased them away.”

 

Answer

Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah (rahimahullah) has recorded the following narration:

‘Amr ibn Qays (rahimahullah) said: “We were once at a funeral and Abu Umamah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) was present. He saw some woman in attendance and chased them away.”

(Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, 11408)

The narrators are all reliable.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
