باب ذِكْرِ الْقَبْرِ وَالْبِلَى
Sunan Ibn Majah 4267
It was
narrated that Hani’ the freed slave of ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan,
said:
“When ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan stood beside a grave, he would
weep
until his beard became wet. It was said to him: ‘You remember
Paradise
and Hell, and you do not weep, but you weep for this?’ He
said: ‘The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The grave is the first
stage of the
Hereafter. Whoever is delivered from it, what comes
after it is
easier. If he is not delivered from it, then what comes
after it is
harder.’” He said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “I have
never seen any horrible scene but the grave is more
horrible.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَحِيرٍ، عَنْ هَانِئٍ، - مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ - قَالَ : كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ إِذَا وَقَفَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ يَبْكِي حَتَّى يَبُلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ : تَذْكُرُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَلاَ تَبْكِي وَتَبْكِي مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْقَبْرَ أَوَّلُ مَنَازِلِ الآخِرَةِ فَإِنْ نَجَا مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَيْسَرُ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ، فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ " . قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ : " مَا رَأَيْتُ مَنْظَرًا قَطُّ إِلاَّ وَالْقَبْرُ أَفْظَعُ مِنْهُ " .
