Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38476 — Reports on weeping out of fear

Abu Musa al-Tamimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Al-Nawar, the wife of al-Farazdaq, died, and the notables of Basrah walked in her funeral, among them al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him). Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) asked al-Farazdaq: "O Abu Firas, what have you prepared for this day?" He answered: "The testimony that there is no god but Allah, for 80 years now." The narrator said: When his wife was buried in the grave, al-Farazdaq stood at her grave and recited these verses: 1. If I am not dealt with through pardon, then beyond the grave I fear what is greater than the grave in fire and narrowness. 2. When, on the Day of Resurrection, a harsh driver and a leader will be driving al-Farazdaq. 3. He has been ruined, of the children of Darim, who is blinded, collared and led to Hell.
