حَدَّثَنَا
هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، عَنْ
خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ
يَزِيدَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا وَرَدْنَا الْبَقِيعَ ، إِذَا هُوَ بِقَبْرٍ جَدِيدٍ ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ ، فَقِيلَ : فُلَانَةُ ، فَعَرَفَهَا ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهَا ؟ " قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كُنْتَ قَائِلًا صَائِمًا ، فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُؤْذِنَكَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا تَفْعَلُوا ،
لَا يَمُوتَنَّ فِيكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا كُنْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ ، فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي عَلَيْهِ لَهُ رَحْمَةٌ " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَتَى الْقَبْرَ ، فَصَفَّنَا خَلْفَهُ ، وَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Yazid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we went out with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and reached Jannat al-Baqi‘, where we saw a new grave. The Prophet asked, "Whose grave is this?" The people informed him that it was the grave of such-and-such woman. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recognized her and said, "Why did you not inform me about her?" The people replied, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You were fasting and resting at midday, so we did not consider it appropriate to disturb you." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not do so. As long as I am among you, be sure to inform me about anyone who passes away among you, for my offering the funeral prayer for them is a mercy for them." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approached her grave, we formed rows behind him, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said four takbirs over her.
