Who led the janaza of prophet(saws).
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
(May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Did
anyone lead nazame janza of HOLY PROPHET (peace be upon him)?
(There may be some grammatical and spelling
errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from

Answer:
Who led the janaza
of prophet(saws)
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
The Noble Messenger of Allah (saws) breathed his last in
the small room of Hadrat Aisha (r.a.), which according to most historians could
not even hold 10-15 people at a time. To
the best of our knowledge there is absolutely no record of one ‘imam’ leading
the funeral prayers of the Noble Prophet (saws). The hundreds if not thousands of companions who
were in Madinah and came to pay their last respects to their Leader and Prophet
offered the funeral prayers of the Prophet (saws) individually. And Allah Alone
Knows Best.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
