وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي كَامِلٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي، هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، سَوْدَاءَ كَانَتْ تَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ - أَوْ شَابًّا - فَفَقَدَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَأَلَ عَنْهَا - أَوْ عَنْهُ - فَقَالُوا مَاتَ . قَالَ ‏"‏ أَفَلاَ كُنْتُمْ آذَنْتُمُونِي ‏"‏ . قَالَ فَكَأَنَّهُمْ صَغَّرُوا أَمْرَهَا - أَوْ أَمْرَهُ - فَقَالَ ‏"‏ دُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ ‏"‏ . فَدَلُّوهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مَمْلُوءَةٌ ظُلْمَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنَوِّرُهَا لَهُمْ بِصَلاَتِي عَلَيْهِمْ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that a dark-complexioned woman (or a youth) used to sweep the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) missed her (or him) and inquired about her (or him). The people told him that she (or he) had died. He asked why they did not inform him, and it appears as if they had treated her (or him) or her (or his) affairs as of little account. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Lead me to her (or his) grave. They led him to that place and he said prayer over her (or him) and then remarked: Verily, these graves are full of darkness for their dwellers. Verily, the Mighty and Glorious Allah illuminates them for their occupants by reason of my prayer over them

আবূর রাবী' আয যাহরানী ও আবূ কামিল ফুযায়ল ইবনু হুসায়ন আল জাহদারী (রহঃ) [শব্দগুলো আবূ কামিল এর] ... আবূ হুরায়রাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। একটি কৃষ্ণাঙ্গ মহিলা অথবা যুবক মসজিদে নবাবীতে ঝাড়ু দিত। কিছুদিন তাকে রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম না দেখে তার সম্বন্ধে জিজ্ঞেস করলেন। সাহাবীগণ বললেন, সে তো মারা গেছে। রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ তোমরা আমাকে খবর দিলে না কেন? বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, খুব সম্ভব তারা বিষয়টিকে গুরুত্বহীন মনে করেছিলেন। রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ আমাকে তার কবর দেখিয়ে দাও। তারা তাকে কবর দেখিয়ে দিলে তিনি (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) তার কবরের উপর সালাতুল জানাযাহ আদায় করলেন। অতঃপর তিনি (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) বললেনঃ এসব কবর অন্ধকারে পরিপূর্ণ হয়ে আছে। মহান আল্লাহ আমার সালাতের দরুন তা আলোকিত করে দিন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ২০৮৩, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)
