لَمَّا مَاتَ ذَرُّ بْنُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ مَسَحَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ الْقَبْرَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ يَا ذَرُّ وَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ بِي بَارّاً وَ لَقَدْ قُبِضْتَ وَ إِنِّي عَنْكَ لَرَاضٍ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا بِي فَقْدُكَ وَ مَا عَلَيَّ مِنْ غَضَاضَةٍ وَ مَا لِي إِلَى أَحَدٍ سِوَى اللَّهِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ وَ لَوْ لَا هَوْلُ الْمُطَّلَعِ لَسَرَّنِي أَنْ أَكُونَ مَكَانَكَ وَ لَقَدْ شَغَلَنِي الْحُزْنُ لَكَ عَنِ الْحُزْنِ عَلَيْكَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا بَكَيْتُ لَكَ وَ لَكِنْ بَكَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَيْتَ شِعْرِي مَا ذَا قُلْتَ وَ مَا ذَا قِيلَ لَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ لَهُ مَا افْتَرَضْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حَقِّي فَهَبْ لَهُ مَا افْتَرَضْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حَقِّكَ فَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِالْجُودِ مِنِّي .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, raising it, said, ‘When Zharr son of Abu Zarr<sup>as</sup> died, Abu Zarr<sup>as</sup> wiped the grave with his<sup>as</sup> hand, then said: ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> have Mercy on you, O Zharr! By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! You were righteous with me<sup>as</sup>, and you have died and I<sup>as</sup> am pleased with you. However, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, I am not disappointed due to your death and I do not need anyone beside Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. Had it not been for fear from the next life I would have been happy to be in your place. My sadness for you (my concern for you in the next life) has kept me from sadness due to your death. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, I do not weep because of your death but I weep for you because of what you may face in the next life. I do not know what I have said about you and what is said about you. Then he<sup>ra</sup> said: ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I<sup>ra</sup> have gifted to him whatever was necessitated upon him from my rights, therefore Gift to him whatever was necessitated upon him from Your<sup>azwj</sup> Rights, for You<sup>azwj</sup> are more rightful with the Benevolence than I<sup>as</sup> am’.
