Al-Kafi 4705

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘Can anyone escape from the squeezing of the grave?’ So he^asws said: ‘We^asws seek Refuge with Allah^azwj from it. How few are the ones who would escape from the squeezing of the grave. When Usman murdered Ruqayya, Rasool-Allah^saww stood by her grave and raised his^saww head towards the sky, and his eyes shed tears, and he^saww said to the people: ‘I^saww remember this one and what she had faced, so I^saww melted for her, and I^saww gift to her (escape) from the squeezing of the grave’. He^asws said: ‘So he^saww said: ‘O Allah^azwj! Endow to me^saww, Ruqayya being free from the squeezing of the grave’. So Allah^azwj Gifted it to her, for him^saww’. He^asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww went out in a funeral of Sa’ad, and seventy thousand Angels has escorted him. So Rasool-Allah^saww raised his^saww head towards the sky, then said: ‘The likes of Sa’ad would be squeezed’. (He - the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! We are narrating that he used to belittle with the urine (uncleanness)’. So he^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj Forbid! But rather, he was with harsh mannerisms upon his family’. He^asws said: ‘So the mother of Sa’ad said, ‘Congratulations to you, O Sa’ad!’ So Rasool-Allah^saww said to her: ‘O mother of Sa’ad! Do not impose it upon Allah^azwj!’
