حَدَّثَنَا أبو عبد الله الأصبهاني، حَدَّثَنَا الحسن بن الجَهْم، حَدَّثَنَا الحسين بن الفَرَج، حَدَّثَنَا محمد بن عمر قال: تُوفِّيَ أبو هريرة سنةَ تسع وخمسين في آخر إمارة معاوية، وكان له يومَ تُوفِّيَ ثمانٍ وسبعون سنةً، وصلى عليه الوليد بن عُتْبة وهو أميرُ المدينة، ومروانُ يومئذٍ معزولٌ عن عمل المدينة، فحدَّثَني ثابتُ بن قيس عن ثابت بن مِشحَل قال: كتب الوليدُ إلى معاوية يخبرُه بموت أبي هريرة، فكتب إليه: انظُرْ مَن تَرَكَ فادفَعْ إلى وَرَثَتِه عشرةَ آلافِ درهم، وأَحسِنْ جِوارَهم، وافعَلْ إليهم معروفًا، فإنه كان ممَّن نَصَرَ عثمانَ، وكان معه في الدَّار، ﵀ (1).
Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) states that Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in the year 59 AH, at the end of the rule of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and at the time of his death he was 78 years old. Al-Walid bin Utbah led his funeral prayer, as he was then the governor of Madinah, while Marwan had at that time been removed from the governorship of Madinah. Thabit bin Qays narrated from Thabit bin Mishhal that al-Walid wrote to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) informing him of the death of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he wrote back: "See which heirs he has left behind, and pay his heirs ten thousand dirhams; treat them well as neighbours and deal kindly with them, for he was among those who supported Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and was with him in the house (during the siege)."
