حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِي وَهُوَ قَرِيرُ الْعَيْنِ طَيِّبُ النَّفْسِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ وَهُوَ حَزِينٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ عِنْدِي وَأَنْتَ قَرِيرُ الْعَيْنِ وَرَجَعْتَ وَأَنْتَ حَزِينٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ الْکَعْبَةَ وَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَکُنْ فَعَلْتُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أَکُونَ أَتْعَبْتُ أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3064
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah went out delighted, then he came back to me sad. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, (why did) you go out happy and come back sad?' He said: 'I entered the Ka'bah, and I wish that I had not done that, because I am afraid that I may have caused difficulty for my nation after I am gone.'''
