Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, reported that Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) had a son who died in Qudaid or Usfan. He said, "O Kuraib, see how many people have gathered for him." Kuraib said, "I went out and found that many people had gathered. I informed him, and he said, 'Do you say they are forty?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Take him out, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "No Muslim dies and forty men who do not associate anything with Allah pray over him except that Allah accepts their intercession for him."'"
