It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became gravely ill, we said: O Messenger of Allah, who will offer the funeral prayer over you? He wept and we wept too. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be patient; may Allah forgive you and reward you with the best reward on behalf of your Prophet. When you have washed me, applied fragrance (hanut) to me and shrouded me, place me at the edge of my grave, then move away from me for a while, for the first to pray over me will be my intimate friend and my companion Jibril, then Mika'il, then Israfil, then the Angel of Death with hosts of angels. After that, let the men of my household be the first to pray over me, then their women, then enter in group after group and one by one. Do not hurt me with the wailing of women mourners, shrieking or lamentation. Convey my greeting of peace to those of my Companions who are not present here. I make you witnesses that I have sent peace upon everyone who has entered Islam and everyone who follows me in this religion of mine from this day until the Day of Resurrection." The narrator Abd al-Malik bin Abd al-Rahman in this chain is unknown (majhul); we know nothing of him with regard to either criticism (jarh) or accreditation (ta'dil), while all the other narrators are trustworthy.
