 Narrated Jabir ibn Samurah:                     A man fell ill and a cry was raised (for his death).  So his neighbour came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said to him: He has died.  He asked: Who told you?  He said: I have seen him.  The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised (for his death).  He came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: He has died.  The Prophet (ﷺ) said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised over him. His wife said: Go to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and inform him.  The man said: O Allah, curse him.  He said: The man then went and saw that he had killed himself with an arrowhead. So he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him that he had died.  He asked: Who told you?  He replied: I myself saw that he had killed himself with arrowheads.  He asked: Have you seen him?  He replied: Yes.  He then said: Then I shall not pray over him.
