Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When Abdullah bin Ubayy (the hypocrite) died, his son came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! If you do not come to him, we will always be taunted. So when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived there, he saw that he had already been placed in the grave. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not call me before placing him in the grave? Then he was taken out of the grave, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applied his saliva from his head to his feet and dressed him in his own shirt.
