Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قَالَ أَقْبَلَ مَرْوَانُ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدَ رَجُلًا وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا تَصْنَعُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ آتِ الْحَجَرَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَبْكُوا عَلَى الدِّينِ إِذَا وَلِيَهُ أَهْلُهُ وَلَكِنْ ابْكُوا عَلَيْهِ إِذَا وَلِيَهُ غَيْرُ أَهْلِهِ.
English Translation
Dawud b. Abi Salih narrated: Marwan came one day and found a man placing his face upon the grave. He said, "Do you know what you are doing?" The man turned to him, and it was Abu Ayyub, who said, "Yes indeed - I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, not to the stone. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, 'Do not weep over religion when its own people govern it, but weep over it when those other than its people govern it.'"
