أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ نَبِيطٍ عَنْ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ نَبِيطٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالُوا يَا سَالِمُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَادْعُهُ فَخَرَجْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى دَخَلَ فَوَسَّعُوا لَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَبَانَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ مَاتَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ {إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ} [الزمر 30] قَالُوا يَا صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَلْ يُدْفَنُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالُوا وَأَيْنَ يُدْفَنُ؟ قَالَ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي قَبَضَ اللهُ فِيهِ رُوحَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْبِضْ رُوحَهُ إِلَّا فِي مَكَانٍ طَيِّبَةٍ قَالَ فَعَلِمَوا أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ

✧ When the Prophet ﷺ died, they said: “O Salim, go to the companion of the Prophet ﷺ and call him.” So I went out and found Abu Bakr standing in the mosque. He placed his hand on my arms, then walked until he entered. They made way for him until he reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he leaned over him until it became clear to him that he had died. Then Abu Bakr said: {Indeed, you are to die, and indeed they are to die} [Az-Zumar: 30]. They said: “O companion of the Prophet ﷺ, shall the Prophet ﷺ be buried?” He said: “Yes.” They said: “Where should he be buried?” He said: “In the place where Allah took his soul, for He did not take his soul except in a good place.” They realized that it was as he said.
