حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَسْلَمَ الْكُوفِيِّ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ الطَّيِّبِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ:
كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ إِذِ اسْتَسْقَى فَأَتَى بِمَاءٍ وَعَسَلٍ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَهُ عَلَى يَدِهِ بَكَى وَانْتَحَبَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قُلْنَا: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى هَذَا الْبُكَاءِ ؟ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَدْفَعُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا أَرَى شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: مَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتُكَ تَدْفَعُ عَنْ نَفْسِكِ وَلَا أَرَى شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ: الدُّنْيَا تَطَاوَلَتْ لِي فَقُلْتُ: إِلَيْكِ عَنِّي فَقَالَتْ: أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِمُدْرِكِي. فَشَقَّ عَلَيَّ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ خَالَفْتُ أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَدْرَكَتْنِي الدُّنْيَا

✧ We were with Abu Bakr ؓ when he asked for a drink, and water and honey were brought to him. When he placed it in his hand, he wept and sobbed until we thought something had happened to him, and we did not ask him about anything. When he finished, we said: O successor of the Messenger of God ﷺ, what made you weep? He said: While I was with the Messenger of God ﷺ, I saw him pushing something away from himself while I saw nothing. I said: O Messenger of God, what is it that I saw you pushing away from yourself while I saw nothing? He said: The world extended itself to me, and I said: Away from me! And it said: Indeed you will not catch me. That distressed me, and I feared that I had opposed the command of the Messenger of God ﷺ and the world had caught up with me.
