Offering Funeral Prayer for Women Who Died During Childbirth

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) stood in the middle of the coffin while offering funeral prayer for a woman who had died during childbirth.

Narrated Samura bin Jundab: I offered the funeral prayer behind the Prophet for a woman who had died during childbirth and he stood up by the middle of the coffin.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ النَّبِيِّ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا، فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا وَسَطَهَا‏.‏
