حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
أَنَّ إِنْسَانًا كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ أَسْوَدَ فَمَاتَ - أَوْ مَاتَتْ - فَفَقَدَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: مَا فَعَلَ الْإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَاتَ قَالَ: فَهَلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَيْلًا قَالَ: فَدُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهَا قَالَ: فَأَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا قَالَ ثَابِتٌ: عِنْدَ ذَاكَ أَوْ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مَمْلُوءَةٌ ظُلْمَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنَوِّرُهَا بِصَلَاتِي عَلَيْهِمْ.

✧ A person used to regularly pray in the mosque and when they died, the Prophet ﷺ missed their presence. He asked, "What happened to the person who used to pray in the mosque?" They informed him that the person had passed away. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why didn't you inform me? You should have informed me." They replied, "It was during the night." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Show me their grave." He went to the grave and prayed for them, then said, "It is confirmed through this incident, or in another narration, that these graves are filled with darkness upon its inhabitants, and Allah ﷻ illuminates them with my prayers for them."

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.
