English

[2215] 71 – (956) It was narrated from Abü Hurairah that a black woman – or youth – used to take care of the Masjid. The Messenger of Allah joç noticed she was not being seen and asked about her – or him – and they said: "He has died." He said: "Why didn't you inform me?" It was as if they regarded her – or him – as being of little account. He said: "Show me where his grave is." So they showed him, and he offered the funeral prayer for her, then he said: "These graves are filled with darkness for their occupants, but Allah illuminates their graves by virtue of my prayer for them."
