Bayhaqi 7014 — Praying at the grave after the deceased is buried

وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، أنبأ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ثنا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَوْدَاءَ كَانَتْ تَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَمَاتَتْ فَفَقَدَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهَا بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ، فَقَالَ: " هَلَّا كُنْتُمْ آذَنْتُمُونِي "، فَأَتَى قَبْرَهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا زَادَ ابْنُ عَبْدَةَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ، قَالَ: وَأَنْبَأَ حَمَّادٌ، ثنا ثَابِتٌ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مَمْلُوءَةٌ ظُلْمَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنَوِّرُهَا بِصَلَاتِي عَلَيْهَا ".
It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a black woman used to serve the mosque, and she died. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) missed her, he asked the Companions about her. He was told that she had died, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not inform me?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her grave and offered the funeral prayer.
Ibn Abdah added in his narration, saying: Hammad informed us that Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These graves are filled with darkness for the people of the graves, but Allah, Glorified is He, illuminates them through my prayer."
