4195. It was narrated that Barâ' said: "We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ at a funeral, and he sat at the edge of the grave weeping, until the ground became wet. Then he said: 'O my brothers, prepare yourselves for something like this.'" (Hasan)
4195 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَجَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْقَبْرِ، فَبَكَى، حَتَّى بَلَّ الثَّرَى، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا إِخْوَانِي لِمِثْلِ هَذَا فَأَعِدُّوا»

The grave is the first stage of the next life. Preparation for that stage could be done only before one's death. So, the short period of life should be used in good things. Crying by remembering death, and the stages of grave, is just as crying out of the fear of Allâh, since bad people will be punished there.
