وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْعَمِّىُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى عَدِىٍّ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ قَالَ سَمُرَةُ بْنُ جُنْدُبٍ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- غُلاَمًا فَكُنْتُ أَحْفَظُ عَنْهُ فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِى مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلاَّ أَنَّ هَا هُنَا رِجَالاً هُمْ أَسَنُّ مِنِّى وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَاتَتْ فِى نِفَاسِهَا فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى الصَّلاَةِ وَسَطَهَا. وَفِى رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا لِلصَّلاَةِ وَسَطَهَا.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Buraidah said: "I was a boy at the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and I used to learn from him, and nothing prevented me from speaking but the fact that there were men who were older than me. I offered the funeral prayer behind the Messenger of Allah (s.a.W) for a woman who had died in childbirth. During the prayer the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) stood in line with her middle." According to the report of Ibn Al-Muthanna he said: '"Abdullah bin Buraidah told me: 'He stood in line with her middle to offer the funeral prayer for her."'
