Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4191

عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ أَسْوَدَ كَانَ يُنَظِّفُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَمَاتَ فَدُفِنَ لَيْلًا ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأُخْبِرَ فَقَالَ : " انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى قَبْرِهِ " ، فَانْطَلَقُوا فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مُمْتَلِئَةٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ظُلْمَةً ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنَوِّرُهَا بِصَلَاتِي عَلَيْهَا " ، فَأَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنْ أَخِي مَاتَ وَلَمْ تُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : " فَأَيْنَ قَبْرُهُ ؟ " فَأَخْبَرَهُ ، فَانْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَعَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَصَلَّى .
قُلْتُ : فِي الصَّحِيحِ طَرَفٌ مِنْهُ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A black man used to clean the mosque. He died and was buried at night. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he said: "Go to his grave." They went, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These graves are filled with darkness for their occupants, and through my offering the funeral prayer over them, Allah Almighty fills them with light." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the grave and offered the funeral prayer for him. A man from the Ansar said: "O Messenger of Allah! My brother died, but you did not offer the funeral prayer for him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where is his grave?" He told him, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went with that Ansari and offered the funeral prayer for him too.
(Allamah Haythami says:) I say: Part of this narration is reported in the Sahih.
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
