Sunan Ibn Majah 1559
It was
narrated that Adra’ As-Sulami said:
“I came one night to guard
the Prophet (ﷺ), and there was a man reciting loudly. The Prophet
(ﷺ) came out and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, this man is
showing
off.’ Then he died in Al-Madinah, and they finished
preparing him,
then they carried his dead body. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said: ‘Be gentle
with him, may Allah be gentle with him, for he
loved Allah and His
Messenger.’ Then his grave was dug and he (the
Prophet (ﷺ)) said:
‘Make it spacious for him, and may Allah make
it spacious for him.’
Some of his Companions said: ‘O Messenger
of Allah, you are grieving
for him.’ He said: ‘Yes indeed, for he
loved Allah and His
Messenger.’”
