حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْعَبْلِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، مَوْلَى الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي مُوَيْهِبَةَ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ، إِنِّي قَدْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ، فَانْطَلِقْ مَعِي ! فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ قَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَقَابِرِ، لِيَهْنِ لَكُمْ مَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا أَصْبَحَ فِيهِ النَّاسُ، لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا نَجَّاكُمُ اللهُ مِنْهُ ! أَقْبَلَتِ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يَتْبَعُ أَوَّلُهَا آخِرَهَا، الْآخِرَةُ شَرٌّ مِنَ الْأُولَى. قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ، إِنِّي قَدْ أُوتِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْخُلْدَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ الْجَنَّةَ، وَخُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَبَيْنَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْجَنَّةِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي، فَخُذْ مَفَاتِيحَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْخُلْدَ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ الْجَنَّةَ! قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ، لَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي وَالْجَنَّةَ. ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَبُدِئَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي قَبَضَهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ حِينَ أَصْبَحَ.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for me in the middle of the night and said, "O Abu Muwayhibah, I have been commanded to seek forgiveness for the people of al-Baqi, so come with me." So I went with him. When he stood among them, he said, "Peace be upon you, people of the graves. How good is what you have come to this morning compared to what the people have come to this morning. If only you knew what Allah has saved you from! Trials have come like pieces of a dark night, each one following the other; the later one is worse than the first." He said: Then he turned to me and said, "O Abu Muwayhibah, I have been given the keys to the treasures of the world, everlasting life in it, then Paradise; and I was given the choice between that and meeting my Lord ﷻ and Paradise." He said: I said, "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you; then take the keys of the world, everlasting life in it, then Paradise." He said, "No, by Allah, O Abu Muwayhibah, I have chosen the meeting with my Lord and Paradise." Then he sought forgiveness for the people of al-Baqi, then he left. When morning came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was stricken with the illness in which Allah ﷻ took him.
