Sahih al-Bukhari 1337 (Book 23, Hadith 92) #1284
Showing Respect to All

SUMMARY: The Prophet (pbuh) was not aware of the death of a black person who used to clean the Mosque, but when he found out, he showed respect and offered funeral prayer for him.

Narrated Abu Huraira: A black person, a male or a female used to clean the Mosque and then died. The Prophet (pbuh) did not know about it . One day the Prophet remembered him and said, "What happened to that person?" The people replied, "O Allah's Messenger ! He died". He said, "Why did you not inform me?" They said, "His story was so and so (ie regarded him as insignificant)". He said, "Show me his grave". He then went to his grave and offered the funeral prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ أَسْوَدَ ـ رَجُلاً أَوِ امْرَأَةً ـ كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ فَمَاتَ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ النَّبِيُّ بِمَوْتِهِ فَذَكَرَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا مَاتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَفَلاَ آذَنْتُمُونِي ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالُوا إِنَّهُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قِصَّتَهُ‏.‏ قَالَ فَحَقَرُوا شَأْنَهُ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَدُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَتَى قَبْرَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about showing respect to all people regardless of their race or social status. It is narrated by Abu Huraira that a black person used to clean the mosque and then died without anyone informing the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about it. When the Prophet ﷺ remembered him and asked what happened, they replied that his story was insignificant so they did not inform him. However, upon hearing this, the Prophet ﷺ showed respect for this man by going to his grave and offering funeral prayer for him. This hadith teaches us that we should show respect towards everyone regardless of their race or social status as Allah SWT has created us all equal in His eyes. We should also remember those who have passed away with kindness and offer our prayers for them as it is an act of mercy from us towards them.
