أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ مُجَاشِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْمَقَابِرِ فَأَمَرَنَا فَجَلَسْنَا ثُمَّ تَخَطَّى الْقُبُورَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى قَبْرٍ مِنْهَا فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَاجَاهُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَاكِيًا فَبَكَيْنَا لِبُكَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَتَلَقَّاهُ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ مَا الَّذِي أَبْكَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ أَبْكَيْتَنَا وَأَفْزَعْتَنَا؟ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عُمَرَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «أَفْزَعَكُمْ بُكَائِي؟ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْقَبْرَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُنَاجِي قَبْرُ آمِنَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي الِاسْتِغْفَارَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي فَنَزَلَ عَلَيَّ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ} فَأَخَذَنِي مَا يَأْخُذُ الْوَلَدُ لِلْوَالِدِ مِنَ الرِّقَةِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي أَبْكَانِي أَلَا وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُزَهِّدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَتُرَغِّبُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day, and we went out with him until we reached the graveyard. He ordered us, and we sat down. Then he stepped over the graves until he came to one of them and sat by it. He spoke privately to it for a long time, then he returned weeping. We wept because of his weeping. Then he turned to us, and 'Umar ؓ met him and said, "What made you weep, O Messenger of Allah? You have made us weep and alarmed us." He took 'Umar's hand, then turned to us and said, "Did my weeping alarm you?" We said, "Yes." He said, "The grave you saw me speaking privately to is the grave of Aminah bt. Wahb. I asked my Lord for permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not permit me. So it was sent down to me: {It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to seek forgiveness for the polytheists} [9:113]. Then I was seized by the tenderness that a child feels for his parent, and that is what made me weep. Indeed, I had forbidden you from visiting graves, so visit them, for they make one renounce this world and desire the Hereafter."
