It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man used to pick up and clear away the rubbish and harmful things from the mosque. Then he passed away, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found him absent and asked: "What happened to so-and-so?" The people said that he had died. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not inform me about him?" It was as if the people had regarded his matter as insignificant. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them): "Come, show me his grave." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) went there and offered the funeral prayer over him, then said: "Indeed, these graves are filled with darkness for their occupants, and Allah Almighty illuminates these graves for them through the blessing of my supplication."
