Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38453 — Reports on weeping out of fear
٣٨٤٥٣ - حدثنا (هشيم) (١) قال: أخبرنا يونس بن عبيد قال: حدثنا (الحسن) (٢) أن رجلين من أصحاب رسول اللَّه ﷺ مات أحدهما قبل صاحبه بجمعة ففضلوا الذي مات وكان في أنفسهم أفضل من الآخر، فذكر ذلك لرسول اللَّه ﷺ فقال: "أليس بقي الآخر بعد الأول جمعة، صلى كذا وكذا صلاة"، قال: فكأنه فضل (الباقي) (٣) (٤).
Al-Hasan said: Of two Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), one died a week before the other. The people gave preference to the one who died, having in mind that he was better than the other. This was then mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did not the other live one week longer than the first, and offer so many and so many more prayers?" It was as though he (peace and blessings be upon him) was preferring the other over the first.
