وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالَ:

بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسِيرُ إِذْ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى قَبْرِ رَجُلٍ قَدْ سَمَّاهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ: لَعَنَ اللهُ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ عَدُوَّ اللهِ، قَالَ: وَابْنُهُ يَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: بَلْ لَعَنَ اللهُ أَبَا قُحَافَةَ، فَوَاللهِ، مَا كَانَ يَقْرِي الضَّيْفَ، وَلَا يُقَاتِلُ الْعَدُوَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « لَا تَسُبُّوا الْأَمْوَاتَ، فَتُؤْذُوا الْأَحْيَاءَ

✧ While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was traveling, he came upon the grave of a man whom he named. Abu Bakr ؓ said: "May Allah curse the occupant of this grave, for he was an enemy of Allah." He (the narrator) said: His son was traveling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: "Rather, may Allah curse Abu Quhafah, for by Allah, he did not entertain guests nor fight the enemy." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not revile the dead, lest you harm the living."
