أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلٍ
أَنَّهُ اشْتَكَتِ امْرَأَةٌ بِالْعَوَالِي مِسْكِينَةٌ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَسْأَلُهُمْ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ «إِنْ مَاتَتْ فَلَا تَدْفِنُوهَا حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا» فَتُوُفِّيَتْ فَجَاءُوا بِهَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ فَوَجَدُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ نَامَ فَكَرِهُوا أَنْ يُوقِظُوهُ فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهَا وَدَفَنُوهَا بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءُوا فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْهَا فَقَالُوا قَدْ دُفِنَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَقَدْ جِئْنَاكَ فَوَجَدْنَاكَ نَائِمًا فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُوقِظَكَ فَقَالَ «انْطَلِقُوا فَانْطَلَقَ يَمْشِي وَانْطَلَقُوا مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَرُوهُ قَبْرَهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَفُّوا وَرَاءَهُ فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهَا وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا»

✧ A poor woman fell ill in al-Awali, and the Prophet ﷺ used to ask them about her, saying, "If she dies, do not bury her until I pray over her." She died, and they brought her to Madinah after nightfall. They found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asleep and disliked waking him, so they prayed over her and buried her in Baqi' al-Gharqad. When morning came, they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he asked them about her. They said, "She has been buried, O Messenger of Allah. We came to you but found you sleeping and disliked waking you." He said, "Let us go." He set out walking, and they went with him until they showed him her grave. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood, and they lined up behind him, then prayed over her, and he said the takbir four times.
