حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ إِنْسَانًا كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ أَسْوَدَ فمَاتَ - أَوْ مَاتَتْ - فَفَقَدَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " مَا فَعَلَ الْإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ؟ "، قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَاتَ، قَالَ: " فَهَلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ؟ " فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَيْلًا، قَالَ: " فَدُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهَا "، قَالَ: فَأَتَى الْقَبْرَ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا، قَالَ ثَابِتٌ - عِنْدَ ذَاكَ، أَوْ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ -: " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مَمْلُوءَةٌ ظُلْمَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا، وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنَوِّرُهَا بِصَلَاتِي عَلَيْهِمْ " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a black woman or man who used to serve the Prophet's Mosque (by sweeping and keeping it clean). One day, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) did not see that person. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) about him/her, and they informed him that he/she had passed away. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why did you not inform me?" The noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted that it was night time (so they did not consider it appropriate to trouble him). The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Show me his/her grave." The noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) showed it to him, so the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) went to the grave and prayed for his/her forgiveness.
