It is narrated from Salim Sabalan that the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), died on the seventeenth night of the month of Ramadan after the Witr prayer. She had instructed that she be buried that same night. So the Ansar gathered in large numbers; so many people had never before been seen at any funeral. The people of the upper areas of Madinah (al-Awali) also took part, and she was buried in al-Baqi'.
