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 أَنَّ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قُلْنَا: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى هَذَا الْبُكَاءِ ؟ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا مَعُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَدْفَعُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، شَيْئًا وَلَا أَرَى شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الَّذِي أَرَاكَ تَدْفَعُ عَنْ نَفْسِكِ وَلَا أَرَى شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ: الدُّنْيَا تَطَوَّلَتْ لِي، فَقُلْتُ: إِلَيْكِ عَنِّي، فَقَالَتْ لِي: أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِمُدْرِكِي، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: فَشَقَّ عَلَيَّ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ خَالَفْتُ أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَحِقَتْنِي الدُّنْيَا

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