Hadith #24

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ حَضَرَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ جَنَازَتَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أَ لَمْ يَنْهَكَ اَللَّهُ أَنْ تَقُومَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أَ لَمْ يَنْهَكَ اَللَّهُ أَنْ تَقُومَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ« وَيْلَكَ وَ مَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا قُلْتُ إِنِّي قُلْتُ اَللَّهُمَّ اُحْشُ جَوْفَهُ نَاراً وَ اِمْلَأْ قَبْرَهُ نَاراً وَ أَصْلِهِ نَاراً»» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« فَأَبْدَى مِنْ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مَا كَانَ يَكْرَهُ»

Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hammad ibn Uthman from al-Halabi from Abu Abdillah , peace be upon him. Imam al-Sadiq said: “When Abdillah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul died, the Prophet , blessings of Allah be upon him and his family, attended his funeral. So Umar said to the Messenger of Allah : “O’ Messenger of Allah , did Allah not forbid you from standing by his grave?” The Prophet remained silent. Then Umar said (repeated): “O Messenger of Allah , did Allah not forbid you from standing by his grave?” So Prophet said to Umar: “Woe to you! And what do you know of what I said (over his grave)? Indeed, I said (over his grave); ‘O’ Allah , fill his insides with fire, and fill his grave with fire, and expose him to fire.’” Abu Abdillah , peace be upon him, said: “So there appeared from the Messenger of Allah , may Allah bless him and his family, that which He used to conceal.”
