[Machine] Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit the sick among the poor Muslims and their weak ones, and he would attend their funerals and no one else would pray over them except for him. They also informed him that a poor woman from the people of Al-Awali fell ill for a long time, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would ask about her from her neighbors who had visited her, and he ordered them not to bury her if anything happened to her until he prayed over her. Then that woman died at night, so they carried her to the place of funeral or the area of funerals near the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for him to pray over her as he had ordered them. But when it was morning, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked about her from those who had visited her and they informed him of her story, and that they disliked waking up the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from his sleep. Therefore, they prayed over her and carried her. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up, he asked about her from her neighbors and they informed him of her situation and that they disliked waking him up for her. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, "Why did you do that? Go and bring her here." So they went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until they reached her grave, and they lined up behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as they would line up for the funeral prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over her and performed four takbeers (saying "Allahu Akbar") as he would do for the funeral prayer.
