وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ أَنْبَأَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَحِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هَانِئًا مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ يَقُولُ
كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ إِذَا وَقَفَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَكَى حَتَّى يَبُلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ قَدْ تَذْكُرُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ فَلَا تَبْكِي وَتَبْكِي مِنْ هَذَا فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْقَبْرَ أَوَّلُ مَنَازِلِ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنْ نَجَا مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَيْسَرُ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ» وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا رَأَيْتُ مَنْظَرًا إِلَّا وَالْقَبْرُ أَفْظَعُ مِنْهُ»

✧ Uthman b. Affan, when he stood at a grave, would weep until his beard became wet. It was said to him, "You remember Paradise and Hell and do not weep, yet you weep at this?" He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The grave is the first of the stages 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.'" And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have never seen a sight but the grave is more dreadful than it."
