أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : يَا أَنَسُ” كَيْفَ طَابَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ أَنْ تَحْثُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ التُّرَابَ؟، وَقَالَتْ : يَا أَبَتَاهْ، مِنْ رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهْ، وَا أَبَتَاهْ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهْ، وَا أَبَتَاهْ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ نَنْعَاهْ، وَا أَبَتَاهْ أَجَابَ رَبًّا دَعَاهْ، قَالَ حَمَّادٌ : حِينَ حَدَّثَ ثَابِتٌ بَكَى، وقَالَ ثَابِتٌ : حِينَ حَدَّثَ أَنَسٌ بَكَى “

Abu al-Nu’man narrated to us, Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas ibn Malik:

Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said:

“O Anas, how could you bring yourselves to scatter dust over the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?”

And she said:

“O my father!

How close he is now to his Lord!

O my father! Paradise of al-Firdaws is his abode!

O my father! We announce his death to Jibreel!

O my father! He has responded to the call of his Lord!”

Hammad said: When Thabit narrated this, he wept.

And Thabit said: When Anas narrated this, he wept.
