عن عباد بن عبد الله بن الزبير عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: لما توفي سعد بن ابي وقاص رضي الله عنه واتي بجنازته امرت به عائشة رضي الله عنها ان يمر به عليها فشق به في المسجد، فدعت له، فانكر ذلك عليها، فقالت: ما اسرع الناس إلى القول، ما صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم على ابن بيضاء إلا في المسجد
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away and his bier was being taken (towards the graveyard), Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) ordered that his bier be brought past her. Thus, the bier was placed in the middle of the mosque and she prayed for him. But when people objected to this action, Sayyidah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: How quick people are to find fault! The reality is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the funeral prayer for the son of Bayda in the mosque itself.

(ومن طريق ثان) عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن الزبير عن عائشة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم انها ارسلت هي وازواج النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم إلى اهل سعد بن ابي وقاص رضي الله عنه ان يمروا به علينا في المسجد فصلى عليه ازواج النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فانكر ذلك الناس، فذكر ذلك لعائشة رضي الله عنها، فقالت: الا تعجبون من الناس حين ينكرون هذا؟ فوالله ما صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم على سهل بن بيضاء إلا في المسجد
(Second Chain) It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she and the other wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to the heirs of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) to bring the deceased to them in the mosque. Thus, the Mothers of the Believers performed his funeral prayer. People objected to this situation. When Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) learned of this, she said: Are you not amazed at those who object to this situation? By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the funeral prayer of Sayyiduna Sahl bin Bayda in the mosque itself.

عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: ((من صلى على جنازة في المسجد فليس له شيء))
But this narration is authentic, because Ibn Abi Dhi’b’s hearing from this Salih was before his confusion, as Shaykh al-Albani has clarified. See: (Sahihah: 2351. Narrated by Abu Dawood: 3191, and Ibn Majah: 1517 (see: 9730). It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever offers the funeral prayer in the mosque, there is no reward for him.
