Sunan Ibn Majah 1533
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ كَانَتْ سَوْدَاءُ تَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ فَتُوُفِّيَتْ لَيْلاً فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أُخْبِرَ بِمَوْتِهَا فَقَالَ " أَلاَ آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهَا " . فَخَرَجَ بِأَصْحَابِهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَى قَبْرِهَا فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا وَالنَّاسُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَدَعَا لَهَا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ .

Abu Kurayb narrated to us; Sa‘id ibn Shurahbil narrated to us, from Ibn Lahi‘ah, from Ubaydullah ibn al-Mughirah, from Abu al-Haytham, from Abu Sa‘id, who said: ‘A Black woman used to sweep the mosque. She died at night, and the next morning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of her death. He said, “Why did you not inform me?” He went out with his Companions and stood at her grave. He performed the funeral prayer over her with the people behind him, supplicated for her, and then departed.’
