Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11553 — Those who permitted announcing

Abu Umamah bin Sahl narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit the poor people of Madinah when they were ill and attend their funerals. A woman from the people of al-Awali died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When death comes to her, inform me." When the people came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) to inform him, they found him resting, and part of the night had already passed. They disliked waking him (peace and blessings be upon him) from his sleep, and they were afraid because of the darkness of the night and the vermin of the earth. When morning came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about that woman. The people said: "O Messenger of Allah! We came to inform you, but we found you asleep, so we did not think it right to wake you, and the darkness of the night and the vermin of the earth made us afraid. So we buried her." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (on hearing this) walked to that woman's grave, prayed over her, and said four takbirs.
