Sunan an-Nasai 1981 (Book 21, Hadith 164) #16592
Compassion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his kindness and compassion, even in death. He offered the funeral prayer for a woman from Al-'Awali who had passed away during the night without informing him.

It was narrated that Abu Umamah bin Sahi said: "A woman from among the people of Al-'Awali fell sick and the Prophet was the best in visiting the sick. He said: 'When she dies, inform me'. She died at night and they buried her without telling the Prophet. The following morning he asked about her and they said: we did not like to wake you, O Messenger of Allah'. So he went to her grave and offered the funeral prayer for her and said Takbir four times"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ مَرِضَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَوَالِي وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ أَحْسَنَ شَىْءٍ عِيَادَةً لِلْمَرِيضِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا مَاتَتْ فَآذِنُونِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَمَاتَتْ لَيْلاً فَدَفَنُوهَا وَلَمْ يُعْلِمُوا النَّبِيَّ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ سَأَلَ عَنْهَا فَقَالُوا كَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُوقِظَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَأَتَى قَبْرَهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Umamah bin Sahi speaks to the immense compassion and kindness of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). It is said that he was known to be especially kind when it came to visiting those who were sick, and this story is an example of that. When a woman from Al-'Awali fell ill, he asked to be informed when she passed away. Unfortunately, she died during the night and they buried her without telling him. However, upon learning what happened in the morning, he went straight to her grave and offered her funeral prayer with four Takbirs - a sign of respect for those who have passed away in Islam. This hadith serves as an example of how we should treat our deceased loved ones with respect and dignity - something that was exemplified by none other than our beloved prophet himself.
