Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were present at the funeral of one of the daughters of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting by the grave, and I saw that tears were flowing from his eyes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Is there anyone among you who has not had intercourse (with his wife) this night? Suraij said: Its meaning is sin. Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I am (that person). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then you go down (into the grave). So he went down into her grave.
