[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").

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."

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 day and you were sleeping, so we did not want to disturb you.' He stood up and positioned the people behind him, then he made four takbirs (saying 'Allahu Akbar') and said, 'None of you should die without my permission, for my prayer is a mercy for them.'"

[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.
