3164. Jābir bin 'Abdullāh said: "The people saw a fire (light) in the graveyard and they came, and they saw that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was in a grave and he was saying; 'Give me your companion.' It was a man who used to raise his voice in Dhikr." (Hasan)
3164 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَوْ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: رَأَى نَاسٌ نَارًا فِي الْمَقْبَرَةِ، فَأَتَوْهَا فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، وَإِذَا هُوَ يَقُولُ: «نَاوِلُونِي صَاحِبَكُمْ» فَإِذَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ بِالذِّكْرِ

Depending on the expediency of the situation, the deceased may even be buried during the night. The reasons for the displeasure of the Prophet ﷺ as reported in the previous Hadith and others, was that the burial was done without informing the Prophet ﷺ or requesting him to lead the funeral prayer.
