6426. Narrated ‘Uqba bin ‘Āmir: The Prophet ﷺ went out and offered the funeral Salāt (prayer) for the martyrs of the (battle of) Uhud and then ascended the pulpit and said, “I am your predecessor and I am a witness against you. By Allāh, I am now looking at my Haud (Al-Kauthar) and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the earth (or he said, “the keys of the earth”). By Allāh! I am not afraid that after me you will worship others besides Allāh, but I am afraid that you will start competing for (the pleasures of) this world.”

Arabic text

6426 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الخَيْرِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا، فَصَلَّى عَلَى أَهْلِ أُحُدٍ صَلاَتَهُ عَلَى المَيِّتِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى المِنْبَرِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ، وَأَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى حَوْضِي الآنَ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ خَزَائِنِ الأَرْضِ - أَوْ مَفَاتِيحَ الأَرْضِ - وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُشْرِكُوا بَعْدِي، وَلَكِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَنَافَسُوا فِيهَا»
