[Machine] There will come a time when a man passes by a grave and says, "I wish I were in this place and not have the desire to meet Allah, but the severity of what he sees of calamities."

الطبراني:٩٧٥٠حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ الْقَاضِي ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزَّعْرَاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ يَمُرُّ الرَّجُلُ بِالْقَبْرِ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي مَكَانَ هَذَا وَمَا بِهِ حُبُّ لِقَاءِ اللهِ وَلَكِنْ شِدَّةُ مَا يَرَى مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ فَقِيلَ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ قَالَ «فَرَسٌ شَدِيدٌ وَسِلَاحٌ يَزُولُ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ حَيْثُمَا زَالَ»
