حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَسْوَدَ أَوِ امْرَأَةً سَوْدَاءَ كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَمَاتَ، فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْهُ، فَقَالُوا: مَاتَ، قَالَ: «أَفَلاَ كُنْتُمْ آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ؟ دُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ»، أَوْ قَالَ: «قَبْرِهَا»، فَأَتَى قَبْرَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.

A black man, or a black woman, used to sweep the mosque, then died. The Prophet ﷺ asked about him, and they said, “He died.” He said: “Why did you not inform me of him? Show me to his grave”—or he said: “her grave”—so he came to his grave and prayed over him.
