The Sufficient (Vol 3) · Hadith 974 (#Ḥadīth #45)

45ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) امْرَأَةً حِينَ مَاتَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ وَهِيَ تَقُولُ هَنِيئاً لَكَ يَا أَبَا السَّائِبِ الْجَنَّةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَمَا عِلْمُكِ حَسْبُكِ أَنْ تَقُولِي كَانَ يُحِبُّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولَهُ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنُ رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) هَمَلَتْ عَيْنُ رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بِالدُّمُوعِ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) تَدْمَعُ الْعَيْنُ وَيَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ وَلاَ نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ وَإِنَّا بِكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَمَحْزُونُونَ ثُمَّ رَأَى النَّبِيُّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فِي قَبْرِهِ خَلَلاً فَسَوَّاهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا عَمِلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَمَلاً فَلْيُتْقِنْ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَقْ بِسَلَفِكَ الصَّالِحِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ.

45. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad from ibn al-Qaddah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Holy Prophet once heard a woman who on the death of ‘Uthman ibn Maz‘un said, ‘Good for you enjoying paradise, O abu al-Sa‘ib!’ The Holy Prophet then said, ’How would you know it to be so? It is enough for you to say, “He loved Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, and His Messenger.’” When Ibrahim, son of the Messenger of Allah died, the eyes of the Messenger of Allah flooded with tears and the Holy Prophet said, ’Eyes shed tears, hearts become sad; but we do not say anything that angers the Lord. O Ibrahim, we are sad for you.’ The Holy Prophet then saw some kind of gap in the grave and fixed it with his hand saying, “When anyone of you does something, he should do it properly.” He then said, “Join, (O Ibrahim) your predecessors, people of good deeds like ‘Uthman ibn Maz’un.’”
