Sahih Muslim 964c (Book 11, Hadith 114) #9384
Praying for the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) prayed for a woman who had died in childbirth, standing in the middle of her body.

Samura b. Jundub said: I was a young boy during the time of the Prophet ﷺ and I retained in my mind (what I learnt from him), and nothing restrained me from speaking except the fact that there were persons far more advanced in age than I. Verily, I said prayer behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ over a woman who had died in the state of delivery, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to say prayer in front of the middle part of her body. And in the tradition narrated on the authority of Ibn Muthanna the words are:" (The Holy Prophet) stood in the middle part of her body for offering prayer for her".
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْعَمِّيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ سَمُرَةُ بْنُ جُنْدُبٍ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غُلاَمًا فَكُنْتُ أَحْفَظُ عَنْهُ فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلاَّ أَنَّ هَا هُنَا رِجَالاً هُمْ أَسَنُّ مِنِّي وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَسَطَهَا ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا لِلصَّلاَةِ وَسَطَهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray for those we have lost, Make supplications or remembrance on their behalf

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of praying for those who have passed away. It was narrated by Samura b. Jundub, who was a young boy at the time of Prophet Muhammad's life and ministry. He recounts that he saw the Prophet stand in front of a woman who had died during childbirth and offer prayer for her soul. This shows us that it is important to remember those we have lost and to pray for them, as this will bring them peace and comfort even after they are gone from this world. We can also make supplications or remembrance on their behalf, which will be beneficial to them as well as ourselves.
