وعلى هذا قال أصحابنا: لا يصلى على ميت غائب، وقال الشافعي: يصلى عليه استدلالا بصلاة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على النجاشي وهو غائب، ولا حجة له فيه لما بينا على أنه روي أن الأرض طويت له، ولا يوجد مثل ذلك في حق غيره، ثم ما ذكره غير سديد؛ لأن الميت إن كان في جانب المشرق فإن استقبل القبلة في الصلاة عليه كان الميت خلفه، وإن استقبل الميت كان مصليا لغير القبلة وكل ذلك لا يجوز.
