Sahih al-Bukhari 5795 (Book 77, Hadith 13) #5557
Compassion in Death

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) visited the grave of Abdullah bin Ubai and showed compassion by dressing his body with his own shirt.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: The Prophet came to visit 'Abdullah bin Ubai (bin Salul) after he had been put in his grave. The Prophet ordered that 'Abdullah be taken out. He was taken out and was placed on the knees of the Prophet, who blew his (blessed) breath on him and dressed the body with his own shirt. And Allah knows better.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيُّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَىٍّ بَعْدَ مَا أُدْخِلَ قَبْرَهُ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ، وَوُضِعَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَنَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِيقِهِ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ قَمِيصَهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ‏.‏
