حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثُمَّ الزُّرَقِيُّ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْجَمُوحِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا إِلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَوُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَسُوِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، سَبَّحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَبَّحْنَا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَكَبَّرْنَا، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لِمَ سَبَّحْتَ؟ ثُمَّ كَبَّرْتَ؟ قَالَ: " لَقَدْ تَضَايَقَ عَلَى هَذَا الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ قَبْرُهُ حَتَّى فَرَّجَهُ اللهُ عَنْهُ " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sa’d bin Mu’adh passed away, we went out with the Prophet (ﷺ). When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished the funeral prayer and he was placed in the grave and the bricks were leveled, the Prophet (ﷺ) recited tasbih for a long time, and we also recited tasbih. Then he said takbir, and we also said takbir. Someone asked: O Messenger of Allah! Why did you recite tasbih and takbir? He replied: The grave had become constricted for this righteous servant, then Allah made it spacious for him.
