Abu Hurayra also reported that a black woman or youth used to sweep the mosque. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, missed her and asked after her or him. They said, “She died.” He said, “Why did you not inform me?” It was as if they thought little of her or him. He said, “Show me the grave.” They directed him to it and he prayed over it. Then he said, “These graves are filled with darkness surrounding their inhabitants. Allah Almighty illuminates them for them by my praying over them.” [Agreed upon]
