Hadith 11901

عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ كَانَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي غَزَا فِيهِ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ إِذَا مِتُّ فَاقْرَؤُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ فَأَخْبِرُوهُمْ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ“ وَلْيَنْطَلِقُوا بِي فَلْيَبْعُدُوا بِي فِي أَرْضِ الرُّومِ مَا اسْتَطَاعُوا فَحَدَّثَ النَّاسَ لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَاسْتَلْأَمَ النَّاسُ وَانْطَلَقُوا بِجِنَازَتِهِ
Asim narrated from a resident of Makkah that Yazid bin Muawiyah was the commander of the army in which Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) participated. At the time of his death, Yazid came to him, so he said to him: "When I pass away, convey my greetings to the people on my behalf and inform them that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, Allah will grant him Paradise. After that, carry my body as far as possible into the territory of Rome. Thus, when Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Yazid informed the people of his death. The people put on their weapons and set out carrying his body."
