أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ مُجَاشِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَكَانَ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ قَالَ
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا وَرَدْنَا الْبَقِيعَ إِذَا هُوَ بِقَبْرٍ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا فُلَانَةُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ «أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهَا؟ » قَالُوا كُنْتُ قَائِلًا صَائِمًا قَالَ «فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا لَا أَعْرِفَنَّ مَا مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا كُنْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةٌ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ وَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا

✧ We went out with the Messenger of God ﷺ. When we reached al-Baqi', he came to a grave and asked about it. They said: So-and-so. He recognized her and said: «Would you not have informed me about her?» They said: You were taking a nap and fasting. He said: «Do not do that. Let me not find that any of you has died while I am among you except that you inform me, for my prayer over him is a mercy.» Then he came to the grave, and we lined up behind him, and he said the takbir over it four times.

- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
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.
in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 3092 - Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
حديث عثمان بن حكيم أشبه لأن حفظ زيد بن ثابت أسهل من يزيد بن ثابت لو كان كذلك وهذا يزيد بن ثابت أخو زيد بن ثابت
machine translationThe hadith of ʿUthmān b. Ḥakīm is closer to correct, because memorizing Zayd b. Thābit is easier than Yazīd b. Thābit, if it were so; and this is Yazīd b. Thābit, the brother of Zayd b. Thābit.
