حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: نَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: نَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَحِيرٍ، قَالَ: نَا هَانِي، مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ قَالَ:
كَانَ عُثْمَانُ إِذَا وَقَفَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَكَى حَتَّى يَبُلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: قَدْ تُذْكَرُ عِنْدَكَ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ، فَلَا تَبْكِي، وَتَبْكِي مِنْ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْقَبْرَ أَوَّلُ مَنَازِلِ الْآخِرَةِ، فَإِنْ نَجَى مِنْهُ، فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَيْسَرُ مِنْهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ

✧ When Uthman stood at a grave he would weep until his beard became wet. It was said to him: "Paradise and the Fire are mentioned to you and you do not weep, yet you weep over this?" He said: "The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'The grave is the first stage of the Hereafter. If one is saved from it, what comes after is easier; if one is not saved from it, what comes after is more severe.'"
