Muwatta Malik #549
Burials
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abi Harmala, the
mawla of Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Sufyan ibn Huwaytib, that Zaynab bint
Abi Salama died during the time that Tariq was amir of Madina and her
bier was brought out after subh and put in al-Baqi. He said that Tariq
used to pray subh right at the beginning of its time. He added, "I
heard Abdullah ibn Umar say to the family, 'You can either pray over
your dead now or you can wait until the sun comes up.' "
