حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ مَاتَ إِنْسَانٌ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ فَمَاتَ بِاللَّيْلِ فَدَفَنُوهُ لَيْلًا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَکُمْ أَنْ تُعْلِمُونِي قَالُوا کَانَ اللَّيْلُ فَکَرِهْنَا وَکَانَتْ ظُلْمَةٌ أَنْ نَشُقَّ عَلَيْکَ فَأَتَی قَبْرَهُ فَصَلَّی عَلَيْهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1247
Narrated Ibn `Abbas.: A person died and Allah's Apostle used to visit him. He died at night and (the people) buried him at night. In the morning they informed the Prophet (about his death). He said, "What prevented you from informing me?" They replied, "It was night and it was a dark night and so we disliked to trouble you." The Prophet went to his grave and offered the (funeral) prayer.
