وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ:
دُعِيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَأَى الْبَيْتَ مُنَجَّدًا فَقَعَدَ خَارِجًا وَبَكَى، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: وَمَا يُبْكِيكَ ؟ فَقَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: فَرَأَى رَجُلًا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَدْ رَقَعَ بُرْدَةً لَهُ [بِقِطْعَةِ] فَرْوٍ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ مَطْلَعَ الشَّمْسِ وَقَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ - وَصَفَ حَمَّادٌ بِيَدَيْهِ بِبَاطِنِ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَمَدَّ يَدَيْهِ - تَطَالَعَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا [أَيْ] أَقْبَلَتْ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَيْنَا، وَيَغْدُوا أَحَدُكُمْ فِي حُلَّةٍ وَيَرُوحُ فِي أُخْرَى، وَتَسْتُرُونَ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تَسْتُرُونَ الْكَعْبَةَ ". قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ: كَيْفَ لَا أَبْكِي وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُكُمْ تَسْتُرُونَ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تَسْتُرُونَ الْكَعْبَةَ

✧ 'Abdullah b. Yazid was invited to a meal, and when he came he saw the house furnished (with curtains) and sat outside and wept. It was said to him, 'What makes you weep?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ...' and he mentioned the hadith. He said: One day he saw a man who had patched his burdah with a piece of fur, so he faced the rising of the sun and said, gesturing with his hand—Hammad described it with his hands, palms inward and extended—'The world has appeared before you,' meaning it has advanced, 'until we thought it would fall upon us. One of you goes out in one fine garment and returns in another, and you cover your houses as you cover the Ka'bah.' 'Abdullah b. Yazid said, 'How can I not weep when I have seen you covering your houses as you cover the Ka'bah?'
