Sahih Muslim Hadith 2253 – Offering The

English

[2253] 100 – ( … ) It was narrated from 'Aishah that when Sa'd bin AbI Waqqfis died, the wives of the Prophet sent word telling them to bring his funeral into the Masjid so that they might offer the funeral prayer for him, and they did so. It was placed in front of their apartments so that they could offer the prayer for him, then it was taken out through Bâb Al-Janâ'iz (the Gate of Funerals) which was near a place where people used to sit. Then they heard that the people were criticizing them for that and saying that funerals would not be brought into the Masjid. News of that reached 'Aishah and she said: "How quick the people are to criticize that of which they have no knowledge! They criticized us for bringing a funeral into the Masjid, but the Messenger of Allah did not offer the funeral prayer for Suhail bin Baidâ' except in the Masjid." Muslim said: (That is) Suhail bin Da'd, and he is Ibn A1-Baidâ', his mother was Baidâ'.
