أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَبُو قُدَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ
أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَرَأَى قَبْرًا جَدِيدًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا هَذِهِ فُلاَنَةُ مَوْلاَةُ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ فَعَرَفَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَاتَتْ ظُهْرًا وَأَنْتَ نَائِمٌ قَائِلٌ فَلَمْ نُحِبَّ أَنْ نُوقِظَكَ بِهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَصَفَّ النَّاسَ خَلْفَهُ وَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ يَمُوتُ فِيكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا دُمْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلاَّ آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ فَإِنَّ صَلاَتِي لَهُ رَحْمَةٌ

they went out with the Messenger of Allah one day and he saw a new grave. He said: "What is this?" They said: "This is so-and-so, the freed slave woman of Banu so-and-so" - whom Messenger of Allah knew - "She died at midday and we did not like to wake you up when you were fasting and taking a nap." The Messenger of Allah stood (for prayer) and the people formed rows behind him. He said four Takbirs over her then he said: "If anyone among you dies while I am still among you, inform me, for my prayer for his is a mercy."

- 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 سنن النسائي, p. 2023 - 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.
