حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ، وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَجَاءٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ الْهَرَوِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ بَصُرَ بِجَمَاعَةٍ، فَقَالَ: " عَلَامَ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ " قِيلَ: عَلَى قَبْرٍ يَحْفِرُونَهُ. قَالَ: فَفَزِعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَبَدَرَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَصْحَابِهِ مُسْرِعًا حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْقَبْرِ، فَجَثَا عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ: فَاسْتَقْبَلْتُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ لِأَنْظُرَ مَا يَصْنَعُ، فَبَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ الثَّرَى مِنْ دُمُوعِهِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ: " أَيْ إِخْوَانِي لِمِثْلِ الْيَوْمِ فَأَعِدُّوا؟ " (٢)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were going with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) when his gaze fell upon some people. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “Why are these people gathered here?” It was informed that they were digging a grave. The Prophet (ﷺ) quickly moved ahead of his companions until he reached near the grave and leaned over it. I too hurried forward to see what the Prophet (ﷺ) was doing. There, the Prophet (ﷺ) was weeping so much that the soil became wet with his tears. Then, turning towards us, he said, “Brothers! Prepare for this day.”
