Hadith 1559
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ الْأَدْرَعِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : جِئْتُ لَيْلَةً أَحْرُسُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قِرَاءَتُهُ عَالِيَةٌ ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا مُرَاءٍ ، قَالَ : فَمَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، فَفَرَغُوا مِنْ جِهَازِهِ فَحَمَلُوا نَعْشَهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ارْفُقُوا بِهِ رَفَقَ اللَّهُ بِهِ ، إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ " ، قَالَ : وَحَفَرَ حُفْرَتَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَوْسِعُوا لَهُ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ " ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ حَزِنْتَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَجَلْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ " .
´It was narrated that Adra’ As-Sulami said:` “I came one night to guard the Prophet (ﷺ), and there was a man reciting loudly. The Prophet (ﷺ) came out and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, this man is showing off.’ Then he died in Al-Madinah, and they finished preparing him, then they carried his dead body. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Be gentle with him, may Allah be gentle with him, for he loved Allah and His Messenger.’ Then his grave was dug and he (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said: ‘Make it spacious for him, and may Allah make it spacious for him.’ Some of his Companions said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you are grieving for him.’ He said: ‘Yes indeed, for he loved Allah and His Messenger.’”
Hadith 1560
حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّهْمَاءِ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " احْفِرُوا ، وَأَوْسِعُوا ، وَأَحْسِنُوا " .
´It was narrated from Hisham bin ‘Amir that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Dig the grave deep, make it spacious and prepare it well.”
