Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَوْدَاءَ أَوْ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ فَفَقْدَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّه
ِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا مَاتَ فَقَالَ أَلَا كُنْتُمْ آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ قَالُوا إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَيْلًا قَالَ فَقَالَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَدَلُّوهُ فَأَتَى قَبْرَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ

They said: She died. He said: 'Why did you not inform me?' Then he said: 'Show me her grave.' They showed it to him, and he prayed over her. Then he said: 'These graves are full of darkness for their inhabitants, and indeed Allah illuminates them with my prayer over them.'
