1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ الله بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ حَضَرَ النَّبِيُّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) جَنَازَتَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِرَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَا رَسُولَ الله أَ لَمْ يَنْهَكَ الله أَنْ تَقُومَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله أَ لَمْ يَنْهَكَ الله أَنْ تَقُومَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَيْلَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا قُلْتُ إِنِّي قُلْتُ اللهمَّ احْشُ جَوْفَهُ نَاراً وَامْلأْ قَبْرَهُ نَاراً وَأَصْلِهِ نَاراً قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فَأَبْدَى مِنْ رَسُولِ الله مَا كَانَ يَكْرَهُ.

Published English translation

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from af-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Ubay ibn Salul died, the Holy prophet attended his funeral. ‘Umar said to the Messenger of Allah, “O Messenger of Allah, has Allah not forbidden you from standing on his grave?” He (the Messenger of Allah) remained silent. He (‘Umar) said, “O Messenger of Allah, has Allah not forbidden you from standing on his grave?” He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Fie upon you, how you could tell what I say? I said, “O Lord, fill his belly with fire, fill his grave with fire and make him feel the heat of fire.”’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), then said, ‘He made the Messenger of Allah to expose what he disliked.’”
