اخبرنا سليمان بن حرب، حدثنا حماد بن زيد، عن ثابت البناني، عن ابي رافع، عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه ان جارية، كانت تقم المسجد، او رجل فقده النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسال عنه، قالوا: قد مات، قال: الا آذنتموني به؟ قالوا: إنه قال: ((فدلوني على قبره فاتى قبره فصلى عليه)).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that a slave woman or a man used to clean the mosque. When the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, did not find him, he inquired about him. They said: He has passed away. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Why did you not inform me about him?" They replied, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Show me his grave." So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to his grave and offered his funeral prayer.
