Ammar client of al-Harith ibn Nawfal told me that he attended the funeral of Umm Kulthum, and her son. The body of the boy was placed near the imam. I objected to it. Among the people there were Ibn Abbas, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, Abu Qatadah and Abu Hurayrah. They said: This is the sunnah (established practice of the Prophet).
