[2237] 88 - (...) It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah said: "I was a boy at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and I used to learn from him, and nothing prevented me from speaking but the fact that there were men who were older than me. I offered the funeral prayer behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ for a woman who had died in childbirth. During the prayer the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood in line with her middle." According to the report of Ibn Al-Muthanna he said: "Abdullāh bin Buraidah told me: 'He stood in line with her middle to offer the funeral prayer for her.'"

88 - (964) وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْعَمِّيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ سَمُرَةُ بْنُ جُنْدُبٍ: لَقَدْ كُنْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُلَامًا، فَكُنْتُ أَحْفَظُ عَنْهُ، فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلَّا أَنَّ هَا هُنَا رِجَالًا هُمْ أَسَنُّ مِنِّي، وَقَدْ «صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا، فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَسَطَهَا» وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ: فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا لِلصَّلَاةِ وَسَطَهَا
