Hadith 67

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Sadouq – ‘Ali Bin Al Husayn Bin Sufyan Bin Yaqoub, from Ja’far Bin Ahmad Bin Yusuf, from Ali Bin Barzaj, from Amro Bin Al Yas’a, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, ‘From Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww came and it was said to him-saww, ‘Sa’ad Bin Muaz has died’. Rasool-Allah-saww stood up and his companions stood up with him-asws. He-saww instructed with washing Sa’ad and he-saww was standing at the post of the door. When he had been embalmed and enshrouded and carried upon his coffin, Rasool-Allah-saww followed it without (wearing) shoes nor a cloak. Then he-saww was grabbing the right of the coffin at time and left of the coffin at times until he-saww ended up with him to the grave. Rasool-Allah-saww descended until he-saww laid him and evened the bricks upon him and went on to say: ‘Give me a rock and give me-saww soil’, and he-saww blocked what was between the bricks. When he-saww was free and had spread the soil upon him and evened his grave, Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww don’t know he is being afflicted and the affliction will arrive to him, but Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Loves a servant when he does a deed, Judges him’. When he-saww had evened the soil upon him, the mother of Sa’ad said from the side, ‘O Sa’ad! Congratulations to you’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O mother of Sa’ad! Shh! Do not assert upon your Lord-azwj, for the squeezing has hit Sa’ad’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww returned and the people returned. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! We have seen you-saww doing upon Sa’ad what you-saww did not do upon anyone. You-saww followed his-saww funeral without shoes nor cloak’. He-saww said: ‘The Angels were without cloaks nor shoes, so I-saww was comforted with it’. They said, ‘And you-saww were taking the right of the coffin, and its left’. He-saww said: ‘My-saww hand was in the hand of Jibraeel-as. I-saww grabbed wherever he-as grabbed’. They said, ‘You instructed with washing him and you-saww prayed Salat upon his body and laid him in his grave, then you-saww said, ‘Sa’ad has been hit by the squeezing’. He-saww said: ‘Yes, he was evil in his manners with his wife’’. [68]
