Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ فِرَاشِهِ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ فَتَبِعْتُهُ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى الْمَقَابِرِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّا بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُمْ وَلَا تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهُمْ قَالَتْ فَالْتَفَتَ فَرَآنِي فَقَالَ وَيْحَهَا لَوْ تَسْتَطِيعُ مَا فَعَلَتْ.
English Translation
Aswad told us: Sharik told us, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from A'ishah, who said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rose from his bed during part of the night, and I thought he intended to visit one of his wives, so I followed him until he stood at the graves and said: 'Peace be upon you, abode of a believing people, and we shall surely join you.' Then he said: 'O Allah, do not deprive us of their reward, and do not try us after them.'" She said: "Then he turned and saw me, and said, 'Woe to her! Had she been able, what would she have done?'"
