Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ فَقَدْتُهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَقَالَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ وَإِنَّا بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُمْ وَلَا تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهُمْ تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Ibrahim ibn Abi al-Abbas narrated to us, he said: Sharik informed us, from Asim ibn Ubaydullah, from Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabi'ah, from Aishah, who said: I missed him one night, and found him at al-Baqi' (the cemetery), saying, "Peace be upon you, abode of a believing people; you are our forerunners, and we shall surely join you. O Allah, do not deprive us of their reward, and do not lead us astray after them" — meaning the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
