Bayhaqi 7209 — What one says on entering a graveyard

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا صَالِحُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْمَقَابِرِيُّ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلَاءُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى الْمَقْبَرَةَ فَقَالَ: " السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ، وَدِدْتُ أَنَّا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا إِخْوَانَنَا " قَالُوا: أَوَ لَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " بَلْ ⦗١٣٢⦘ أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابِي وَإِخْوَانِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بَعْدُ " قَالُوا: كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بَعْدُ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَهُ خَيْلٌ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلُونَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ خَيْلٍ دُهْمٍ بُهْمٍ أَلَا يَعْرِفُ خَيْلَهُ؟ " قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: " فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ، أَلَا لَيُذَادَنَّ رِجَالٌ عَنْ حَوْضِي كَمَا يُذَادُ الْبَعِيرُ الضَّالُّ، أُنَادِيهِمْ أَلَا هَلُمَّ، فَيُقَالُ: إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ بَدَّلُوا بَعْدَكَ، فَأَقُولُ: " سُحْقًا سُحْقًا " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَغَيْرِهِ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the graveyard and said: "'As-salamu alaykum dara qawmin mu'minin, wa inna in sha' Allahu bikum lahiqun, wadidtu anna qad ra'ayna ikhwanana' (Peace be upon you, O dwellers of the abode of the believers! If Allah wills, we shall surely join you. I wish that we could see our brothers.)" The people said: Are we not your brothers? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, you are my Companions; my brothers are those who will come later." They said: O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognise those of your Ummah who will come later? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you think: if a man had horses with white foreheads and white legs among horses that are pitch black, would he not recognise his horses?" They said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people of my Ummah too will come with radiant faces and limbs from ablution, and I will be their forerunner at the Pool. Beware! People will be driven away from my Pool just as a stray camel is driven away. I will call out to them: 'Come here!' Then it will be said: 'They changed the religion after you.' Then I will say: 'Suhqan suhqan' (Away with them, away with them!)."
