Malik bin Hubairah As-رضي الله عنه


Malik bin Hubairah As-Sakuni رضي الله عنه (Arabic: مالك بن هبيرة السكوني) is a friend of Rasulullahﷺ and one of the generals of the Umayyad forces. Malik bin Hubairah رضي الله عنه bin Khalid bin Muslim bin Al-Harith bin Al-Mukhashaf bin Haj, Haj's name is Malik bin Al -Harith bin Bakar bin Tsa'labah bin Uqbah bin Sakun. He comes from the Sakun tribe from Bani Kindah. The chewers were Abu Sa'id and Abu Sulaiman. Malik bin Hubairah رضي الله عنه was among the companions of Rasulullahﷺ and narrated a hadith from him. After Rasulullahﷺ demised, he participated in the Conquest of Hims, the Conquest of Egypt, and the Battle of Shiffin. Malik was the general of Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan's forces against the Byzantines. He also once served as the governor of Hims during the caliphate of Muawiyah.

Malik bin Hubairah As-Sakuni رضي الله عنه became the leader of his tribe in Sham and was among the influential figures. In the year 47 AH (667 AD) during the caliphate of Muawiyah, Malik bin Hubairah As-Sakuni رضي الله عنه led the army in attacking Byzantium by land route in winter.

After Muawiyah bin Yazid died, Malik bin Hubairah As-Sakuni رضي الله عنه was present at the Jabiyah Conference. This meeting determines the allegiance and caliphate. He supported Khalid bin Yazid as caliph, while Hussain bin Numairرضي الله عنه (who also came from Bani Kindah like Malik) preferred Marwan bin al-Hakam as caliph over Khalid because they did not want to bring a child (namely Khalid) to the Arabs, while the Arabs brought an old man (i.e. Ibn az-Zubair) to them. After a difference of opinion, the meeting then ended with the pledge of allegiance to Marwan bin al-Hakam رضي الله عنه, Khalid bin Yazid as his successor, and Amr bin Sa'id bin al-Ash رضي الله عنه as Khalid's successor.

After the issue of allegiance was resolved, Malik attended the Battle of Al-Marj[a] with Marwan against his opponents. He then participated with Marwan and his forces to seize Egypt from the power of Ibn Az-Zubair until there was a battle between the supporters of Ibn Az-Zubair led by Ibn Jahdam and the supporters of Marwan. Egypt was successfully captured by Marwan in the month of Jumadil Akhirah in the year 65 H and Ibn Jahdam returned to Makkah after being forgiven.

Malik bin Hubairah As-Sakuni رضي الله عنه then returned and died in Beit Ras in the year 65 AH (685 AD).

Narration of Hadith

Among the tabi'in scholars who narrated the hadith from him are Martsad bin Abdullah Al-Yazani رضي الله عنه and Al-Mughirah bin Farwah Ad-Dimasyqiرضي الله عنه. Malik bin Hubairah As-Sakuni رضي الله عنهnarrates a hadith about dividing the rows of the funeral prayer into three rows. This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi, Al-Hakim, Al-Baihaqi, and Ahmad bin Hanbal. The hadith was declared authentic by Al-Hakim and At-Tirmidhi followed by An-Nawawi in Al-Majmu' declaring it Hasan.

Imam al-Nawawi said: That it is sunnah to arrange the "saf" to be at least three saf or more according to the hadith of Malik bin Hubairah As-Sakuni رضي الله عنه. And more than three saf is more afdhal (prioritized). (See al-Majmu' Syarh al-Muhazzab, 5/215)

Ibn Qudamah رضي الله عنه said: It is encouraged to straighten the "saf" when performing the janazah prayer. This is stated by Imam Ahmad who said: Straightened your saf, indeed, it is a part of prayer. And when Rasulullahﷺ was informed of the death of Najasyi, he went out to the praying area. He arranged the "saf" and recited takbir four times. (See al-Mughni, 2/185)

Conclusion

Saf should be straightened and for Janazah prayer, three or more "saf" should be arranged according to the prophetic evidence as well as from the "istinbat" of the scholars. As for the position of the first and second "saf", it can be close together for there is no need for distancing for the rukuk (bowing) or sujud (prostration) because there is no rukuk and sujud in Janazah prayer.

Hopefully, this explanation will give us an understanding in this matter. Let us pray for those who have passed away before us;

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

"Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful."

[Surah al-Hasyr : Ayat 10]


"From Marṡad bin Abdillāh Al-Yazani رضي الله عنه, he said, "When Malik bin Hubairah -رضي الله عنه prays for the corpse, then he considers the number of people who pray for him to be small, so he divides them into three groups and says, Rasulullahﷺ said, "When the corpse is prayed for by three rows, then it is obligatory (to accept its intercession). "شرح الحديث :

When this noble friend wanted to pray the funeral, and saw the number of people who joined the prayer was small, he divided them into three rows, and he reported from the Prophet Muhammad [Rasulullahﷺ ] that no Muslim died and was prayed by three rows and they pray to God for his goodness, surely the body will enter heaven. The main purpose of funeral prayer is to pray for the dead. Matan the marfū' is satisfied by the authentic narration from Abdullah bin 'Abbas that his son died in Qadīd -or 'Asfān-. He said, O Kuraib, look how many people have gathered. He said, "I went out, it turned out that people gathered (to pray for him), so I told him." He said, "You say they are forty?" He replied, "Yes". He said, "Take him out! Indeed, I heard Rasulullahﷺ say, 'No Muslim dies, and there are forty people who pray for him, they do not associate anything with  Allahﷻ except that they can intercede for him with  Allahﷻ.'" (HR. Muslim)
