مَنْ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ أَبُو مُوَيْهِبَةَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
[Machine] the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was commanded to pray for the people of Al-Baqi and he prayed for them three times in his night prayer. When he prayed for them the third time, he said, "O Abu Muawiyah, saddle my mount for me." So I saddled the mount for him, and he rode and went to the people of Al-Baqi. Then he alighted and stood among them. He said, "May you be refined by what you have faced from among the tribulations that come one after another, like pieces of a dark night. Some of them are worse than the others. May you be refined by what you have faced from them." Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came and said, "O Abu Muawiyah, I have been given, or I have been given the choice of the keys of what Allah will open for my nation after me, whether it is Paradise or meeting with my Lord." I said, "By my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, I chose the meeting with my Lord." He said, "I have chosen the meeting with my Lord." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did not stay except for seven or eight nights before he passed away.
أُمِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ فِي لَيْلَتِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ أَسْرِجْ لِي دَابَّتِي فَأَسْرَجْتُ فَرَكِبَ فَسَارَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَأَمْسَكْتُ دَابَّتَهُ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ» فَقَالَ «لِيُهْنِكُمْ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا فِي النَّاسِ أَتَتْ فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا الْأُخْرَى أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْأُولَى فَلْيُهْنِكُمْ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ» ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ إِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُ» أَوْ قَالَ «خُيِّرْتُ مَفَاتِيحَ مَا يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي وَالْجَنَّةَ أَوْ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي» قُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اخْتَرْنَا قَالَ «اخْتَرْتُ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي» فَمَا مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا سَبْعَ أَوْ ثَمَانَ حَتَّى قُبِضَ ﷺ
