اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ غَالِبِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِتَمْتَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَحِيرٍ، عَنْ هَانِئٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ قَالَ: كَانَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا وَقَفَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَكَى حَتَّى يَبُلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ، قَالَ: فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: تَذْكُرُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ فَلَا تَبْكِي وَتَبْكِي مِنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " ⦗٩٣⦘ إِنَّ الْقَبْرَ أَوَّلُ مَنَازِلِ الْآخِرَةِ فَمَنْ نَجَا مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَيْسَرُ مِنْهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ " ".
Hani (may Allah have mercy on him), the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), says that whenever Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) stood at a grave, he would weep so much that his blessed beard became wet. It was said to him: Paradise and Hell are mentioned before you and you do not weep, so why do you weep at the mention of the grave? He would say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The grave is the first of the stages of the Hereafter. Whoever is saved from it, the stages after it will be easier for him; and whoever is not saved from it, the stages after it will be much harder."
