Hadith 558
۞
Hadith.558 - When Dhar ibn Abi Dhar, passed away, Abu Dharr stood by his grave, touched it with his hand, and said:
"May Allah (swt) have mercy on you, O’ Dhar. By Allah (swt), you were righteous toward me. You were taken from me while I am content with you. By Allah (swt), I have not felt your loss as a disgrace, nor have I sought from anyone besides Allah (swt) any need. Were it not for the terror of the grave and its trials, I would have been pleased to be in your place. Sorrow for you has preoccupied me from sorrow over your loss. By Allah (swt), I did not cry for you but for myself over you. I wonder what you said and what was said to you.
O’ Allah (swt), I have forgiven him what was due to me of rights. Grant him what is due from You, for You are more worthy of generosity and grace."
