Prepare
for a day like this...
On
the authority of al-Baraa ibn 'Aazib (radhi-yallaahu
'anhu) who said: While we were with the Messenger of Allaah
(sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam), he suddenly looked towards a group
(of people) and said:
((For
what reason have they gathered here?))
It
was said: In order to dig a grave.
So
the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) became alarmed and startled and he
quickly went ahead of his Companions until he reached the
grave, then he knelt upon it, and I turned my face towards
him (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam), in order to see what he was doing.
He (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) cried until the earth became wet with
his tears, then he turned to us and said:
((O
my brothers! Prepare for a day like this)).
