عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي مُوَيْهِبَةَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ ”يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ إِنِّي قَدْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ فَانْطَلِقْ مَعِي“ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ قَالَ ”السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَقَابِرِ لِيَهْنِ لَكُمْ مَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا أَصْبَحَ فِيهِ النَّاسُ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا نَجَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ أَقْبَلَتِ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يَتْبَعُ أَوَّلُهَا آخِرَهَا الْآخِرَةُ شَرٌّ مِنَ الْأُولَى“ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ ”يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ إِنِّي قَدْ أُوتِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْخُلْدَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ الْجَنَّةَ وَخُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَبَيْنَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْجَنَّةِ“ قَالَ قُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي فَخُذْ مَفَاتِيحَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْخُلْدَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ ”لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ لَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْجَنَّةَ“ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَبُدِئَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ حِينَ أَصْبَحَ
Mawla-e-Rasool Sayyiduna Abu Muwayhibah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He says, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) woke me up at midnight and said: "Abu Muwayhibah! I have been commanded to pray for forgiveness for the people of Baqi' graveyard, so come with me." I set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). When he arrived there and stood among them, he said: "O inhabitants of the graves! Peace be upon you. Congratulations to you for the state you are in, compared to the conditions people are now facing. If only you knew what Allah has saved you from. Trials are coming one after another like the dark portions of the night, each subsequent trial worse than the previous one." After this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) turned to me and said: "Abu Muwayhibah! I have been given the treasures of the world and everlastingness in it, and after that Paradise, and I have been given the choice to choose between the world or meeting my Lord and Paradise." Abu Muwayhibah says: I said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you! O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), choose the treasures of the world and everlastingness in it, and after that Paradise." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "Abu Muwayhibah! By Allah! No, I have chosen to meet my Lord and Paradise." After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) prayed for forgiveness for the people of Baqi', and then returned. The next morning, the illness of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) began, in which Allah, the Exalted, took him from this world.
