وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَيُّوبُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ فِيمَا عَرَضْنَا عَلَى رَبَاحِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَحِيرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ ؓ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
« لَا تَنْسَوُا الْعَظِيمَتَيْنِ ». قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَا الْعَظِيمَتَانِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ » فَذَكَرَ مَا ذَكَرَ حَتَّى بَكَى إِلَى أَنْ جَرَى الدَّمْعُ أَوْ بَلَّ الدَّمْعُ جَانِبَيْ لِحْيَتِهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَمَشَيْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّعِيدِ فَحَثَيْتُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمُ التُّرَابَ

✧ "Do not forget the two great things." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, what are the two great things?" He ﷺ said: "Paradise and the Fire." Then he mentioned what he mentioned until he wept, so that tears flowed—or tears moistened—the sides of his beard ﷺ. Then he said: "By Him in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, if you knew of the matter what I know, you would go out to the open ground and pour dust on your heads."
