Dawud bin Amir bin Saad bin Abi Waqqas said that his father Amir bin Saad was with Ibn Umar bin al-Khattab when Khabbab, the owner of the closet (maqsurah), came and said: Abdullah bin Umar dont you hear what Abu Hurairah says ? He heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: If anyone goes out of his house, accompanies bier and prays over it. . . . He then mentioned the rest of the tradition as narrated by Sufyan. Thereupon Ibn Umar sent someone to Aishah (asking her about it). She replied: Abu Hurairah spoke the truth.
