Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4193

وَعَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَعُودُ فُقَرَاءَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، وَيَشْهَدُ جَنَائِزَهُمْ إِذَا مَاتُوا ، فَتُوُفِّيَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مَنْ أَهْلِ الْعَوَالِي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا حَضَرَتْ فَآذِنُونِي " ، فَأَتَوْهُ لِيُؤْذِنُوهُ ، فَوَجَدُوهُ نَائِمًا وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَكَرِهُوا أَنْ يُوقِظُوهُ ، وَتَخَوَّفُوا عَلَيْهِ ظُلْمَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَهَوَامَّ الْأَرْضِ ، فَذَهَبُوا بِهَا ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ سَأَلَ عَنْهَا قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَتَيْنَاكَ لِنُؤْذِنَكَ فَوَجَدْنَاكَ نَائِمًا ، فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُوقِظَكَ ، وَتَخَوَّفْنَا عَلَيْكَ ظُلْمَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَهَوَامَّ الْأَرْضِ ، فَمَشَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى قَبْرِهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ ، وَفِيهِ كَلَامٌ ، وَقَدْ وَثَّقَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit the poor people of Madinah when they were sick, and when they died he would attend their funerals. A woman from the people of the outlying area (al-Awali) passed away. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When she is ready (that is, when the shrouding of the deceased is complete), inform me about her." They came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to inform him, but they found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asleep, and part of the night had passed. The people did not think it proper to wake the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were also concerned about the darkness of the night and the creeping creatures of the earth. So they took the woman's body away. The next day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about the woman, and the people said: "O Messenger of Allah! We came to you to inform you, but we found you asleep, and we did not like to wake you. We were also concerned for you about the darkness of the night and the creeping creatures of the earth." The narrator says: So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked to the woman's grave, offered the funeral prayer for her, and said four takbirs.
Imam Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Sufyan bin Husayn, about whom there is criticism; a group declared him thiqah (trustworthy), and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
