The Weeping of Uthman Ibn Affan:
“When ‘Uthmân ibn ‘Affan stood at a grave he wouls weep until his beard was wet. So it was
said to him: “Indeed you make mention of Paradise and Hellfire and you do not weep, and you are weeping at
this?”. He replied, “Indeed the Messenger of
Allâh (saw) said, “Verily the grave is the first abode of the Hereafter, if
one is saved from it then what follows is made easier for him. And if one is not saved from it, then
what follows is more severe”.
He also (saw) said, “I have never seen a sight more horrid than the
grave”"
