حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قَالَ
أَقْبَلَ مَرْوَانُ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدَ رَجُلًا وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ، فَقَالَ: أَتَدْرِي مَا تَصْنَعُ؟ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ آتِ الْحَجَرَ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَا تَبْكُوا عَلَى الدِّينِ إِذَا وَلِيَهُ أَهْلُهُ، وَلَكِنِ ابْكُوا عَلَيْهِ إِذَا وَلِيَهُ غَيْرُ أَهْلِهِ

✧ Marwan approached one day and found a man placing his face on a grave. He asked, "Do you know what you are doing?" He went towards him and found that he was Abu Ayyub. He said, "Yes, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and did not visit the Stone. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Do not cry for the deceased regarding their religion when their family members are taking care of it, but cry when someone other than their family is taking care of it.'"
