Hadith 3123
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ سَيْفٍ الْمَعَافِرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ ،عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، قَالَ : قَبَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي مَيِّتًا ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا ، انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَانْصَرَفْنَا مَعَهُ ، فَلَمَّا حَاذَى بَابَهُ وَقَفَ ، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِامْرَأَةٍ مُقْبِلَةٍ ، قَالَ : أَظُنُّهُ عَرَفَهَا ، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَتْ ، إِذَا هِيَ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَام ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا أَخْرَجَكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ مِنْ بَيْتِكِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : أَتَيْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهْلَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ ، فَرَحَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ مَيِّتَهُمْ ، أَوْ عَزَّيْتُهُمْ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَلَعَلَّكِ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى ، قَالَتْ : مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ ، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَذْكُرُ فِيهَا مَا تَذْكُرُ ، قَالَ : لَوْ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى " فَذَكَرَ تَشْدِيدًا فِي ذَلِكَ ، فَسَأَلْتُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنِ الْكُدَى ، فَقَالَ : الْقُبُورُ فِيمَا أَحْسَبُ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: We buried a deceased person in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When we had finished, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned and we also returned with him. When he approached his door, he stopped, and we saw a woman coming towards him. He (the narrator) said: I think he recognized her. When she went away, we came to know that she was Fatimah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: What brought you out of your house, Fatimah? She replied: I came to the people of this house, Messenger of Allah, and I showed pity and expressed my condolences to them for their deceased relation. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You might have gone to the graveyard with them. She replied: I seek refuge in Allah! I heard you referring to what you mentioned. He said: If you had gone to the graveyard. . . He then mentioned severe words about it. I then asked Rabiah (a narrator of this tradition) about al-kuda (stony land). He replied: I think it means the graves.
