The burial of the Messenger and the prayer over him

[ دَفْنُ الرَّسُولِ وَالصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِ ] فَلَمَّا فُرِغَ مِنْ جَهَازِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ، وُضِعَ فِي سَرِيرِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَقَدْ كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي دَفْنِهِ. فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: نَدْفِنُهُ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ وَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: بَلْ نَدْفِنُهُ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَا قُبِضَ نَبِيٌّ إلَّا دُفِنَ حَيْثُ يُقْبَضُ، فَرُفِعَ فِرَاشُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَحُفِرَ لَهُ تَحْتَهُ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ النَّاسُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْسَالًا، دَخَلَ الرِّجَالُ، حَتَّى إذَا فَرَغُوا أُدْخِلَ النِّسَاءُ، حَتَّى إذَا فَرَغَ النِّسَاءُ أُدْخِلَ الصِّبْيَانُ. وَلَمْ يَؤُمَّ النَّاسَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحَدٌ. ثُمَّ دُفِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ وَسَطِ اللَّيْلِ لَيْلَةَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ

Translation

✧ [The burial of the Messenger and the prayer over him] When the preparation of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was finished on Tuesday, he was placed on his bier in his house. The Muslims had differed concerning his burial. One said: We bury him in his mosque. Another said: Rather, we bury him with his companions. Abu Bakr said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: No prophet is taken in death but he is buried where he was taken. So the bed of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, on which he had died, was lifted, and a grave was dug for him beneath it. Then the people entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pray over him in successive groups: the men entered, and when they had finished, the women were brought in, and when the women had finished, the children were brought in. No one led the people in prayer over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was buried in the middle of the night, on the night of Wednesday.
