560 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، أَنَّ أَسْوَدَ، رَجُلاً أَوِ امْرَأَةً، كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَمَاتَ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَوْتِهِ، فَذَكَرَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَقَالَ: مَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانُ قَالُوا: مَاتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: أَفَلاَ آذَنْتُمُونِي فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قِصَّتَهُ؛ قَالَ: فَحَقَرُوا شَأْنَهُ قَالَ: فَدُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَأَتَى قَبْرَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a black man or a black woman used to serve the mosque. He/she passed away, but no one informed the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) of his/her death. One day, the Prophet remembered and asked about that person, noticing he/she was not seen. The companions said, "O Messenger of Allah, he/she has passed away." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Why did you not inform me?" The companions replied, "This and this was the reason (so we did not trouble you)." It was as if the people considered him/her insignificant and not worthy of attention. But the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Show me his/her grave." So he went to the grave and offered the funeral prayer for him/her.
