Hadith 6:424
Sa'id ibn Yahya al-Himyari narrated to us, from Sufyan ibn Husayn, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to visit the poor of the people of Medina and attend their funerals when they died. He said: A woman from the people of al-'Awali died, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If she is prepared, inform me about her." He said: They came to him to inform him about her, but they found him sleeping, and a portion of the night had passed. They disliked waking him, and they feared for him the darkness of the night and the vermin of the earth. When morning came, he asked about her, and they said: "O Messenger of Allah, we came to you to inform you about her, but we found you sleeping, so we disliked waking you, and we feared for you the darkness of the night and the vermin of the earth." He said: "So we buried her there." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) walked to her grave, prayed over her, and said the takbir four times.
حدثنا سعيد بن يحيى الحميري عن سفيان بن حسين عن الزهري عن أبي إمامة بن سهل عن أبيه قال كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعود فقراء أهل المدينة ويشهد جنائزهم إذا ماتوا قال فتوفيت امرأة من أهل العوالي فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا حضرت فآذنوني بها قال فأتوه ليؤذنوه فوجدوه نائما وقد ذهب من الليل فكرهوا أن يوقظوه وتخوفوا عليه ظلمة الليل وهوام الأرض فلما أصبح سأل عنها فقالوا يا رسول الله أتيناك لنؤذنك بها فوجدناك نائما فكرهنا أن نوقظك وتخوفنا عليك ظلمة الليل وهوام الأرض قال فدفناها هناك فمشى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى قبرها فصلى عليها وكبر أربعا
