حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

أَنَّ أَسْوَدَ رَجُلاً أَوِ امْرَأَةً كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَمَاتَ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمَوْتِهِ، فَذَكَرَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَقَالَ: «مَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانُ؟» قَالُوا: مَاتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «أَفَلاَ آذَنْتُمُونِي؟» فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قِصَّتَهُ. قَالَ: فَحَقَرُوا شَأْنَهُ. قَالَ: «فَدُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ»، فَأَتَى قَبْرَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.

✧ A black man—or a woman—used to sweep the mosque, then died, and the Prophet ﷺ was not informed of his death. One day he mentioned him and said: "What happened to that person?" They said, “He died, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: "Why did you not inform me?" They said that his story was such and such. He said that they considered his matter insignificant. He said: "Show me his grave," so he came to his grave and prayed over him.
