Hadith 13028

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّازَّقِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ ، وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ ، كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتْرَ الْحُجْرَةِ ، فَرَأَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ ، قَالَ : فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ ، وَهُوَ يَتَبَسَّمُ ، قَالَ : وَكِدْنَا أَنْ نُفْتَتَنَ فِي صَلَاتِنَا فَرَحًا لِرُؤْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَنْكُصَ ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ كَمَا أَنْتَ ، ثُمَّ أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ ، فَقُبِضَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَمُتْ ، وَلَكِنَّ رَبَّهُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَى مُوسَى ، فَمَكَثَ عَنْ قَوْمِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ، وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِي رِجَالٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ ، يَزْعُمُونَ أَوْ قَالَ : يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ مَاتَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on Monday, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted the curtain of his blessed chamber. At that time, the people were performing prayer under the leadership of Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him). I saw the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it seemed like an open page of the Qur'an. Seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made us so happy that we were close to falling into a trial. Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to move from his place, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) signaled him to remain in his place and let the curtain fall, and on that very day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and began to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has not passed away; his Lord has sent him a message just as He sent to Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him), and he remained away from his people for forty nights. By Allah! I hope that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will return to physical life so that he may cut off the hands and tongues of those hypocrites who say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has passed away.
