[Machine] Abu Dardaa said, "If you knew what they see after death, you would not enjoy eating food or drinking beverages or entering houses to find shade, rather you would beat your chests, cry for yourselves, and wish you were a tree that is supported and then eaten." He said, "Coolness came over me when I heard from Abu Bakr As-Siddiq that a bird passed by him, and he said, 'How fortunate are you, O bird, you eat from fruits and find shade in the trees, and you return without being held accountable.'"  

قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا رَاءُونَ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ مَا أَكَلْتُمْ طَعَامًا بِشَهْوَةٍ وَلَا شَرِبْتُمْ شَرَابًا عَلَى شَهْوَةٍ وَلَا دَخَلْتُمْ بَيْتًا تَسْتَظِلُّونَ فِيهِ وَلَحَرِصْتُمْ عَلَى الصَّعِيدِ تَضْرِبُونَ صُدُورَكُمْ وَتَبْكُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي شَجَرَةٌ تُعْضَدُ ثُمَّ تُؤْكَلُ قَالَ بُرْدٌ وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِهِ طَائِرٌ فَقَالَ طُوبَاكَ يَا طَائِرُ تَأْكُلُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ وَتَسْتَظِلُّ بِالشَّجَرِ وَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى غَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
