قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَامِرٌ وَهُوَ الشَّعْبِيُّ، قَالَ: قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ ؓ:
إِنِّي لَآخِرُ النَّاسِ عَهْدًا بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَإِنَّا حَفَرْنَا لَهُ وَلَحَدْنَا، فَلَمَّا دَفَنُوهُ وَخَرَجُوا أَلْقَيْتُ الْفَأْسَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، فَقُلْتُ: الْفَأْسَ، الْفَأْسَ، فَدَخَلْتُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ، وَمَسَحْتُ يَدِي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

✧ I was the last of the people to be with the Prophet ﷺ. We dug for him and made a lahd. When they had buried him and came out, I dropped the axe into the grave and said, 'The axe, the axe!' So I went in and took it, and I wiped my hand over the Prophet ﷺ.
