Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abi Mulaika narrates that Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr passed away at a place called Habshi. Hazrat Ibn Jurayj states that Habshi is a place twelve miles from Makkah. He was buried in Makkah. When Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) came, she visited his grave and recited these verses: "We were companions for a long time, firmly bound, so much so that it was thought we would never be separated. But when we were separated, it felt as if, despite that long companionship, I and the Master had not spent even a single night together." Then she said: "By Allah! If I had been present at that time, I would have had him buried where he passed away, and if I had been present at his funeral, I would not have visited his grave."
