وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ:
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَرَأَيْتُ بِهِ الْمَوْتَ، فَقُلْتُ: هَيْجٌ، هَيْجٌ: مَنْ لَا يَزَالُ دَمْعُهُ مُصَنَّعًا فَإِنَّهُ فِي مَرَّةٍ مَدْفُوقُ فَقَالَ ؓ: لَا تَقُولِي ذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنْ قُولِي: وَجَاءَتْ سَكْرَةُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ ذَلِكَ مَا كُنْتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ

✧ I entered upon Abu Bakr ؓ and saw death upon him. I said: "Hayj, hayj: one whose tears are ever prepared will one day be poured out." He ؓ said: Do not say that, but say: "And the agony of death comes with the truth—that is what you used to flee from."
