حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِي وَهُوَ قَرِيرُ الْعَيْنِ طَيِّبُ النَّفْسِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيَّ وَهُوَ حَزِينٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ الْکَعْبَةَ وَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَکُنْ فَعَلْتُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أَکُونَ أَتْعَبْتُ أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 873
Aishah narrated: The Prophet left me while he had a joyous look of contentment and he returned to me grieving. So I asked him about that and he said: 'I entered the Ka'bah, and I wished that I had not done it. I fear that my Ummah will follow me (in that) after me.'
