1559. It was narrated that Adra' As-Sulami said: "I came one night to guard the Prophet ﷺ, and there was a man reciting loudly. The Prophet ﷺ came out and I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, this man is showing off.' Then he died in Al-Madinah, and they finished preparing him, then they carried his dead body. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Be gentle with him, may Allāh be gentle with him, for he loved Allāh and His Messenger.' Then his grave was dug and he (the Prophet ﷺ) said: 'Make it spacious for him, and may Allāh make it spacious for him.' Some of his Companions said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, you are grieving for him.' He said: 'Yes indeed, for he loved Allāh and His Messenger.” (Da’if)

1559 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْأَدْرَعِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: جِئْتُ لَيْلَةً أَحْرُسُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قِرَاءَتُهُ عَالِيَةٌ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذَا مُرَاءٍ، قَالَ: فَمَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَفَرَغُوا مِنْ جِهَازِهِ، فَحَمَلُوا نَعْشَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ارْفُقُوا بِهِ، رَفَقَ اللَّهُ بِهِ، إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ» قَالَ: وَحَفَرَ حُفْرَتَهُ فَقَالَ: «أَوْسِعُوا لَهُ، أَوْسَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَقَدْ حَزِنْتَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَجَلْ، إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»
