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."

عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَرَأَى قَبْرًا جَدِيدًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا هَذِهِ فُلاَنَةُ مَوْلاَةُ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ فَعَرَفَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَاتَتْ ظُهْرًا وَأَنْتَ نَائِمٌ قَائِلٌ فَلَمْ نُحِبَّ أَنْ نُوقِظَكَ بِهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَصَفَّ النَّاسَ خَلْفَهُ وَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ يَمُوتُ فِيكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا دُمْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلاَّ آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ فَإِنَّ صَلاَتِي لَهُ رَحْمَةٌ

“We went out with the Prophet ﷺ and when we reached Al-Baqi’, we saw a new grave. He asked about it and they said: ‘(It is) so-and-so (a woman).’ He recognized the name and said: ‘Why did you not tell me about her?’ They said: ‘You were taking a nap and you were fasting, and we did not like to disturb you.’ He said: ‘Do not do that; I do not want to see it happen again that one of you dies, while I am still among you, and you do not tell me, for my prayer for him is a mercy.’ Then he went to the grave and we lined up in rows behind him, and he said four Takbir (i.e. for the funeral prayer).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1528)

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا وَرَدْنَا الْبَقِيعَ إِذَا هُوَ بِقَبْرٍ جَدِيدٍ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ فُلَانَةُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهَا؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتَ قَائِلًا صَائِمًا فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُؤْذِنَكَ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلُوا لَا يَمُوتَنَّ فِيكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا كُنْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي عَلَيْهِ لَهُ رَحْمَةٌ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْقَبْرَفَصَفَّنَا خَلْفَهُ وَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا

[Machine] On a certain day, they went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ carrying a funeral until they reached Al-Baqi'. He said, "What is this?" They said, "This is So-and-so, the freed slave of So-and-so." He recognized her and said, "Why didn't you inform me about her?" They said, "We buried her during the daytime while you were sleeping, and we didn't want to disturb you." So he got up, lined the people behind him, and performed the funeral prayer. Then he said, "None among you should die without my permission as long as I am among you. For indeed, my prayer for him is a mercy."

عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّهُم خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مَعَ جِنَازَةٍ حَتَّى إِذَا وَرَدُوا الْبَقِيعَ قَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا هَذِه فُلَانَةُ مَوْلَاةُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ فَعَرَفَهَا قَالَ هَلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهَا قَالُوا دَفَنَّاهَا ظَهْرًا وَكُنْتَ قَائِلًا نَائِمًا فَلَمْ نُحِبَّ أَنْ نُؤْذِيَكَ فَقَامَ وَصَفَّ النَّاسَ خَلْفَهُ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا يَمُوتُ مِنْكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا دُمْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي لَهُ رَحْمَةٌ

[Machine] From his uncle Yazid ibn Thabit, who was older than Zaid, he said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and when we reached al-Baqi, there was a new grave. He asked about it, and they said, 'So-and-so.' He recognized her and said, 'Didn't you grant me permission?' They said, 'You were saying that you were fasting, so we disliked causing you harm.' He said, 'Don't do that. I will not know who among you dies unless you inform me. For, indeed, my prayer for him is a mercy. Then he went to the grave, and we lined up behind him, and he made four takbeers (saying "Allahu Akbar").

عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَكَانَ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا وَرَدْنَا الْبَقِيعَ إِذَا هُو بِقَبْرٍ جَدِيدٍ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا فُلَانَةُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي فَقَالُوا كُنْتَ قَائِلًا صَائِمًا فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُؤْذِيَكَ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا لَا أَعْرِفَنَّ مَا مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا كُنْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي عَلَيْهِ لَهُ رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ أَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا

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»

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Al-Baqi' and he saw a new grave, so he asked about it and was informed. He recognized it and said, "Did you not inform me?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we thought it would grieve you, so we did not inform you." He said, "You should not do that. I do not know what will happen to any of you after I am gone, so whenever you come to a grave, send blessings upon the deceased, for my prayers will reach him wherever he may be." Then he approached the grave and prayed for him. We lined up behind him and he raised his hands four times. It was narrated from 'Amir bin Rabi'ah and Buraidah from the Prophet ﷺ.

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَرَأَى قَبْرًا جَدِيدًا فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَذُكِرَ لَهُ فَعَرَفَهُ فَقَالَ أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتَ قَائِلًا فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُؤْذِيَكَ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلُوا لَا أَعْرِفَنَّ مَا مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا دُمْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَصَفَّنَا عَلَيْهِ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا وَرُوِيَ فِيهِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَبُرَيْدَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
