English translation

1978. It was narrated that Samurah said: "I offered the funeral prayer with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ for Umm Ka'b who had died in childbirth, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood in line at her mid-section to pray." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1976 - أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أُمِّ كَعْبٍ مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فِي وَسَطِهَا»

Commentary

1. Inclusively we get to learn that in the funeral service of a woman, the prayer-leader would stand at the waist of the deceased. 2. The theme of the chapter is corroborated by the apparent wording, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood... So to say, it was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ.
