Hadith 791
۞
By this isnad from Bakr b. `Abdullah. He said: Muhammad b. `Ubaydullah and `Abdullah b. al-Salt al-Juhdari narrated to us. They said: Ibn `A’isha narrated to us from `Abdullah b. `Abd al-Rahman al-Hamadani from his father. He said
When `Ali b. Abi Talib buried Fatima (sa), he stood at the edge of the grave. This was in the middle of the night because he had buried her at night. Then, he recited: For every meeting between two lovers there is a departure, And all that is done [together] before death is brief, My loss of one person after the other Is an indication that the lover is not everlasting, My remembrance will cease, and my love will be forgotten, And my lover will have a lover after me.
10 - وبهذا الاسناد، عن بكر بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن عبيد الله وعبد الله بن الصلت الجحدري، قالا: حدثنا ابن عائشة، عن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن الهمداني، عن أبيه، قال
لما دفن علي بن أبي طالب فاطمة (عليهما السلام)، قام على شفير القبر، وذلك في جوف الليل، لانه كان دفنها ليلا، ثم أنشأ يقول: لكل اجتماع من خليلين فرقة * * وكل الذي دون الممات قليل وإن افتقادي واحدا بعد واحد * * دليل على أن لا يدوم خليل سيعرض عن ذكري وتنسى مودتي * * ويحدث بعدي للخيل خليل (2)
