حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَعُودُهُ فَدَفَنُوهُ بِاللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَعْلَمُوهُ فَقَالَ " مَا مَنَعَكُمْ أَنْ تُعْلِمُونِي " . قَالُوا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ وَكَانَتِ الظُّلْمَةُ فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ . فَأَتَى قَبْرَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ .

"A man died whom the MessengerofAllah (ﷺ) used to visit, and they buried him at night. Whenmorningcame, they told him. He said: 'What kept you from telling me?'They said: 'It was night and it was dark, and we did not like tocauseyou any inconvenience.' Then he went to the grave and offeredthefuneral prayer for him."
