(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوَيْهِبَةَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : أُمِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةِ ، قَالَ : " يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ ، أَسْرِجْ لِي دَابَّتِي " , قَالَ : فَرَكِبَ ، وَمَشَيْتُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَنَزَلَ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ ، وَأَمْسَكَتْ الدَّابَّةُ ، وَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ : قَامَ عَلَيْهِمْ , فَقَالَ : " لِيَهْنِكُمْ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا فِيهِ النَّاسُ ، أَتَتْ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا ، الْآخِرَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْأُولَى ، فَلْيَهْنِكُمْ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ " ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ : " يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ ، إِنِّي أُعْطِيتُ أَوْ قَالَ : خُيِّرْتُ مَفَاتِيحَ مَا يُفْتَحُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي وَالْجَنَّةَ ، أَوْ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي " , فَقُلْتُ : بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي , قَالَ : " لَأَنْ تُرَدَّ عَلَى عَقِبِهَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، فَاخْتَرْتُ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " , فَمَا لَبِثَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا سَبْعًا أَوْ ثَمَانِيًا حَتَّى قُبِضَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . وَقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ مَرَّةً : تُرَدُّ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهَا .
Sayyiduna Abu Muwayhibah, who was a freed slave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), says that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) received the command to pray for the people of Baqi’. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for them three times in one night. On the second night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Abu Muwayhibah, saddle my mount for me." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted, and I walked on foot until we reached Jannat al-Baqi’. Upon arrival, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted, I held the rope of the mount, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood by their graves and said: "Congratulations to you for the blessings you are in, having been spared from the conditions of the people. Trials are descending like the dark portions of the night, coming one after another, and each subsequent one is harsher than the previous. So congratulations to you for the blessings you are in." After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned and said: "I have been given the choice: either the keys to the conquests my Ummah will achieve after me and Paradise, or to meet my Lord." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, please tell us about your preference." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After me, my Ummah will do whatever Allah wills, so I have chosen to meet my Lord." Thus, seven or eight days after this incident, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away.
