The mentioned by the questioner was narrated by Abu Dawud and authenticated by Al-Albani. It revolves around the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, attending a funeral, his instructions to the digger of the grave, and then his encounter with a woman's caller upon his return. The correct understanding is that the woman was not the wife of the deceased, but rather a woman from Quraysh, as stated in some narrations.
