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 اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ مَاتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَلُّوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ .

A negress (or a youth) used to sweep the mosque. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم missed him, and when he asked about him the people told him that he had died. He said: Why have you not informed me ? He said: Lead me to his grave. So they led him and he prayed over him.
