عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قَالَ أَقْبَلَ مَرْوَانُ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدَ رَجُلًا وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا تَصْنَعُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ آتِ الْحَجَرَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”لَا تَبْكُوا عَلَى الدِّينِ إِذَا وَلِيَهُ أَهْلُهُ وَلَكِنِ ابْكُوا عَلَيْهِ إِذَا وَلِيَهُ غَيْرُ أَهْلِهِ“
Dawud bin Abi Salih says that one day Marwan came and saw a man who had placed his face upon the grave. Marwan said: Do you know what you are doing? When he turned towards him, he saw that it was Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub. So he said: Yes, I know. I have come to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, not to a stone. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: When the heirs and inheritors of the religion are worthy and deserving people, then do not weep for the religion. However, weep for the religion when unworthy people become its heirs and owners.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … When incompetent people become responsible for religious affairs and they handle matters of the religion, then truly one feels like weeping over what is happening.
