  قال الإمام أحمد رويت الصلاة على القبر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من ستة وجوه حسان كلها قال ابن عبد البر بل من تسعة كلها حسان وساقها كلها بأسانيده في تمهيده من حديث سهل بن حنيف وأبي هريرة وعامر بن ربيعة وابن عباس وزيد بن ثابت والخمسة في صلاته على المسكينة وسعد بن عبادة في صلاة المصطفى على أم سعد بعد دفنها بشهر وحديث الحصين بن وحوح في صلاته عليه الصلاة والسلام على قبر طلحة بن البراء ثم رفع يديه وقال اللهم الق طلحة يضحك إليك وتضحك إليه وحديث أبي أمامة بن ثعلبة أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم رجع من بدر وقد توفيت أم أبي أمامة فصلى عليها وحديث أنس أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى على امرأة بعدما دفنت وهو محتمل للمسكينة وغيرها

  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.
