حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَحِيرٍ الْقَاصُّ
كَانَ عُثْمَانُ إِذَا وَقَفَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَكَى حَتَّى يَبُلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: تُذْكَرُ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَلَا تَبْكِي، وَتَبْكِي مِنْ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: الْقَبْرُ أَوَّلُ مَنَازِلِ الْآخِرَةِ، فَإِنْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ، فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَيْسَرُ مِنْهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَاللهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مَنْظَرًا قَطُّ إِلَّا وَالْقَبْرُ أَفْظَعُ مِنْهُ.

✧ When Uthman stood by a grave, he would weep until his beard became wet. It was said to him: Paradise and the Fire are mentioned and you do not weep, yet you weep over this? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The grave is the first stage of the Hereafter. If one is saved from it, what comes after is easier than it; and if one is not saved from it, what comes after is more severe than it. He said: And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: By Allah, I have never seen any sight except that the grave is more dreadful than it.
