وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحِمْيَرِيُّ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ - وَكَانَ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ - عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ:

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُ فُقَرَاءَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَيَشْهَدُ جَنَائِزَهُمْ إِذَا تُوُفُّوا، قَالَ: فَتُوُفِّيَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَوَالِي، قَالَ ﷺ: إِذَا حُضِرَتْ فَآذِنُونِي قَالَ: فَأَتَوْهُ لِيُؤْذِنُوهُ بِهَا فَوَجَدُوهُ نَائِمًا وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ اللَّيْلُ، فَكَرِهُوا أَنْ يُوقِظُوهُ، وَتَخَوَّفُوا عَلَيْهِ ظُلْمَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَهَوَامَّ الْأَرْضِ، فَدَفَنُوهَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ ﷺ سَأَلَ عَنْهَا، فَقَالُوا ذَلِكَ، فَمَشَى ﷺ إِلَى قَبْرِهَا، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا، وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit the poor of Madinah and attend their funerals when they died. He said: A woman from the people of al-Awali died. He ﷺ said: When she is present, inform me. He said: They came to him to inform him of her, but found him sleeping and the night had gone, so they disliked waking him and feared for him the darkness of the night and the creatures of the earth, so they buried her. When morning came, he ﷺ asked about her, and they told him that. He ﷺ walked to her grave, prayed over her, and said four takbirs.
