Sayyiduna Abu Muwayhibah (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded to pray for mercy for the people of al-Baqi', so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for mercy for them three times at night.
Ahmad recorded it as a longer narration. If Allah wills, it will come as a complete narration in the chapter on the signs of Prophethood.
