3203. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that a black woman or a man used to sweep the Masjid, and the Prophet ﷺ noticed that he was missing so he asked about him. It was said that he had died. He said: “Why did you not tell me about him?” He said: “Show me where his grave is.” So they showed him, and he performed the funeral prayer for him. (Sahih)
3203 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَوْدَاءَ - أَوْ رَجُلًا - كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ، فَقِيلَ: مَاتَ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ؟» قَالَ: «دُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ؟» فَدَلُّوهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ
