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 عليه السلام, peace be upon him.
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “When Abdillah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul died, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family, attended his funeral. So Umar said to the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى: “O’ Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, did Allah سبحانه وتعالى not forbid you from standing by his grave?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم remained silent. Then Umar said (repeated): “O Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, did Allah سبحانه وتعالى not forbid you from standing by his grave?” So Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم 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 سبحانه وتعالى, fill his insides with fire, and fill his grave with fire, and expose him to fire.’” Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “So there appeared from the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, that which He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم used to conceal.”
