Sunan an-Nasai 1901 (Book 21, Hadith 84) #16512
Respect for the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet showed respect and compassion to the deceased by dressing him in his shirt and blessing him.

It was narrated from Sufyan, from 'Amr who said he heard Jabir say: "The Prophet came to the grave of 'Abdullah bin Ubayy when he had been placed in his grave and stood over it. He commanded that he be brought out to him and placed on his knees, and he dressed him in his shirt and blew on him (for blessing). And Allah knows best".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا، يَقُولُ أَتَى النَّبِيُّ قَبْرَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَىٍّ وَقَدْ وُضِعَ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ لَهُ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَأَلْبَسَهُ قَمِيصَهُ وَنَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِيقِهِ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ

Showing respect for those who have passed away

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of showing respect for those who have passed away. It was narrated from Sufyan, from 'Amr who said he heard Jabir say that when the Prophet came to the grave of 'Abdullah bin Ubayy, he commanded that he be brought out and placed on his knees. He then dressed him in his shirt and blew on him as a sign of blessing. This shows us how important it is to show respect for those who have passed away, even if we did not know them personally or were not close with them while they were alive.
