حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ الْأَدْرَعِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ جِئْتُ لَيْلَةً أَحْرُسُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قِرَائَتُهُ عَالِيَةٌ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا مُرَائٍ قَالَ فَمَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَفَرَغُوا مِنْ جِهَازِهِ فَحَمَلُوا نَعْشَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ارْفُقُوا بِهِ رَفَقَ اللَّهُ بِهِ إِنَّهُ کَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ قَالَ وَحَفَرَ حُفْرَتَهُ فَقَالَ أَوْسِعُوا لَهُ أَوْسَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ حَزِنْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَجَلْ إِنَّهُ کَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1559
It was narrated that Adra' As-Sulami said: "I came one night to guard the Prophet P.B.U.H, and there was a man reciting loudly.The Prophet P.B.U.H came out and I said: '0 Messenger of Allah, this man is showing off.' Then he died in Al-Madinah, and they finished preparing him, then they carried his dead body. The Prophet P.B.U.H said: 'Be gentle with him, may Allah be gentle with him, for he loved Allah and His Messenger.' Then his grave was dug and he (the Prophet P.B.U.H) said: 'Make it spacious for him, and may Allah make it spacious for him.' Some of his Companions said: '0 Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H, you are grieving for him.' He said: 'Yes indeed, for he loved Allah and Bis Messenger.''' (Da'if)
