حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ الْأَدْرَعِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: جِئْتُ لَيْلَةً أَحْرُسُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قِرَاءَتُهُ عَالِيَةٌ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذَا مُرَاءٍ، قَالَ: فَمَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَفَرَغُوا مِنْ جِهَازِهِ فَحَمَلُوا نَعْشَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ارْفُقُوا بِهِ رَفَقَ اللَّهُ بِهِ، إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، قَالَ: وَحَفَرَ حُفْرَتَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَوْسِعُوا لَهُ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ حَزِنْتَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: أَجَلْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ .

What was narrated concerning digging the grave
“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.’”
