Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ عَائِشَة لما توفّي سعد بن أبي وَقاص قَالَت: ادخُلُوا بِهِ الْمَسْجِد حَتَّى أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَأُنْكِرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ: وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ صَلَّى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ابْنَيْ بَيْضَاءَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ: سُهَيْلٍ وَأَخِيهِ. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

Abu Salama ibn Abd al-Rahman reported that when Saad ibn Abi Waqqas died, Aisha said, ‘Bring him into the mosque so that I may pray over him.’ This was objected to, so she said, ‘By Allah, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed in the mosque over the two sons of al-Bayda: Suhayl and his brother.’ Muslim transmitted it.
