حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ يَعْنِي الْخَزَّازَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ
أَنَّ أَسْوَدَ كَانَ يُنَظِّفُ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَمَاتَ فَدُفِنَ لَيْلًا، وَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأُخْبِرَ، فَقَالَ: انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى قَبْرِهِ، فَانْطَلَقُوا إِلَى قَبْرِهِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مُمْتَلِئَةٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ظُلْمَةٌ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] يُنَوِّرُهَا بِصَلَاتِي عَلَيْهَا، فَأَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَخِي مَاتَ وَلَمْ تُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَأَيْنَ قَبْرُهُ ؟ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ

✧ "That Aswad used to clean the mosque, then he died and was buried at night. The Prophet ﷺ came and was informed about it. He said, 'Go to his grave.' So they went to his grave and he said, 'These graves are filled with darkness upon their inhabitants, but Allah illuminates them with my prayers upon them.' Then he came to the grave and prayed for him. A man from the Ansar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my brother died and you did not pray for him.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Where is his grave?' So he informed him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went with the Ansari."

machine translationImam Aḥmad said: The prayer at the grave has been reported from the Prophet ﷺ through six routes, all of them good (ḥasan). Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr said: Rather, through nine, all of them good (ḥasan), and he gave them all with their chains in his Tamhīd: from the hadith of Sahl b. Ḥunayf, Abū Hurayrah, ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah, Ibn ʿAbbās and Zayd b. Thābit, these five concerning his prayer for the poor woman; and Saʿd b. ʿUbādah, concerning the prayer of the Chosen One over Umm Saʿd a month after her burial; and the hadith of al-Ḥuṣayn b. Waḥwaḥ, concerning his prayer, upon him be blessings and peace, at the grave of Ṭalḥah b. al-Barāʾ, then he raised his hands and said: "O Allah, let Ṭalḥah meet You laughing to You and You laughing to him"; and the hadith of Abū Umāmah b. Thaʿlabah, that he ﷺ returned from Badr after the mother of Abū Umāmah had died, and he prayed over her; and the hadith of Anas, that he ﷺ prayed over a woman after she had been buried, which could refer to the poor woman or to another.
