5968 - وعن ابي سعيد الخدري - رضي الله عنه - قال: خرج علينا رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - في مرضه الذي مات فيه، ونحن في المسجد، عاصبا راسه بخرقة، حتى اهوى نحو المنبر، فاستوى عليه واتبعناه، قال: (والذي نفسي بيده إني لانظر إلى الحوض من مقامي هذا) ثم قال: (إن عبدا عرضت عليه الدنيا وزينتها، فاختار الآخرة) قال: فلم يفطن لها احد غير ابي بكر، فذرفت عيناه، فبكى، ثم قال: بل نفديك بآبائنا وامهاتنا وانفسنا واموالنا يا رسول الله! قال: ثم هبط فما قام عليه حتى الساعة رواه الدارمي.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said:During the illness of which he died God's messenger came out to us when we were in the mosque with a rag tied round his head and made for the pulpit. When he had sat on it he made us come near [*] and then said, "By Him in whose hands my soul is, I am looking at the Pond from this place where I am." He then said, "A man was offered the world and its adornment but chose the next." Abu Bakr was the only one who appreciated his meaning, so tears dropped from his eyes, he wept and said, "No; we shall ransom you with our fathers, our mothers, our persons and our property, messenger of God." He then came down from the pulpit and never mounted it again. *Literally, made us follow him. Darimi transmitted it.
