Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 575 — Comprehensive Chapter on Funerals
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، تَقُولُ : قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَبِسَ ثِيَابَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَمَرْتُ جَارِيَتِي بَرِيرَةَ تَتْبَعُهُ ، فَتَبِعَتْهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ الْبَقِيعَ فَوَقَفَ فِي أَدْنَاهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقِفَ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَسَبَقَتْهُ بَرِيرَةُ ، فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي فَلَمْ أَذْكُرْ لَهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي بُعِثْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ لِأُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِمْ "
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that one night the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and put on his clothes, then he went out. So I told my slave-girl Barirah to follow behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so she went until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reached Baqi' and stood near it for as long as Allah willed him to stand. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, and Barirah reached me before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did. I did not mention anything to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until morning came. Then I mentioned it to him, and he said: "I was commanded to go to the people of Baqi' so that I may supplicate for them."
