they went out with the Messenger of Allah one day and he saw a new grave. He said: "What is this?" They said: "This is so-and-so, the freed slave woman of Banu so-and-so" - whom Messenger of Allah knew - "She died at midday and we did not like to wake you up when you were fasting and taking a nap." The Messenger of Allah stood (for prayer) and the people formed rows behind him. He said four Takbirs over her then he said: "If anyone among you dies while I am still among you, inform me, for my prayer for his is a mercy." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2022)  

عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَرَأَى قَبْرًا حَدِيثًا فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا؟» قَالُوا هَذِهِ فُلَانَةُ مَوْلَاةُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ يَعْرِفُهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَاتَتْ ظُهْرًا وَأَنْتَ صَائِمٌ قَائِلٌ فَلَمْ نُحِبَّ أَنْ نُوقِظَكَ بِهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَفَّ النَّاسَ خَلْفَهُ «فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَا يَمُوتَنَّ فِيكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا دُمْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلَّا يَعْنِي آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي لَهُ رَحْمَةٌ»  

"Some people passed by an isolated grave with the Messenger of Allah and he led them in prayer and they formed rows behind him." I said: "Who was that O Abu 'Amr?" He said: "Ibn 'Abbas." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2023)  

أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ «مَرَّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى قَبْرٍ مُنْتَبِذٍ فَأَمَّهُمْ وَصَفَّ خَلْفَهُ» قُلْتُ مَنْ هُوَ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ  

"Someone who saw the Prophet pass by an isolated grave told me that he offered the funeral prayer there and his Companions formed rows behind him." It was said: "Who told you this?" He said: "Ibn 'Abbas." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2024)  

أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ «رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِقَبْرٍ مُنْتَبِذٍ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَصَفَّ أَصْحَابَهُ خَلْفَهُ» قِيلَ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ  

That the Prophet prayed at the grave of a woman after she had been buried. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2025)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرِ امْرَأَةٍ بَعْدَمَا دُفِنَتْ»
