Hadith #45894

وعن ابن شماسة قال‏:‏ حضرنا عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنه ، وهو في سياقة الموت فبكى طويلاً، وحول وجهه إلى الجدار، فجعل ابنه يقول‏:‏ يا أبتاه، أما بشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بكذا‏؟‏ أما بشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بكذا‏؟‏ فأقبل بوجهه فقال‏:‏ إن أفضل ما نعد شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمداً رسول الله ، إني قد كنت على أطباق ثلاث‏:‏ لقد رأيتني وما أحد أشداً بغضاً لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مني ، ولا أحب إلي من أن أكون قد استمكنت منه فقتلته، فلو مت على تلك الحال لكنت من أهل النار، فلما جعل الله الإسلام في قلبي أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلمى الله عليه وسلم فقلت‏:‏ أبسط يمينك فلأبايعك، فبسط يمينه فقبضت يدي، فقال‏:‏”مالك يا عمرو‏؟‏‏"‏ قلت‏:‏ أردت أن أشترط قال‏:‏ ‏"‏تشترط ماذا‏؟‏‏"‏ قلت ‏:‏ أن يغفر لي، قال‏:‏ ‏"‏أماعلمت أن الإسلام يهدم ما كان قبله، وأن الهجرة تهدم ما كان قبلها، وأن الحج يهدم ما كان قبله” وما كان أحد أحب إلي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، ولا أجل في عيني منه، وما كنت أطيق أن املأ عيني منه إجلالاً له؛ ولو سئلت أن أصفه ما أطقت؛ لأني لم أكن أملاً عيني منه، ولو مت على تلك الحال لرجوت أن أكون من أهل الجنة، ثم ولينا أشياء ما أدري مال حالي فيها‏؟‏ فإذا أنا مت فلا تصحبني نائحة ولا نار، فإذا دفنتموني، فشنوا على التراب شناً، ثم أقيموا حول قبري قدر ما تنحر جزور، ويقسم لحمها، حتى أستأنس بكم، وأنظر ما أراجع به رسل ربي ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

On the authority of Ibn Shamasa, he said: We attended Amr bin Al-Aas, may God be pleased with him, and he was on the verge of death. He cried for a long time, and turned his face to the wall, so his son began to say: O father, did the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, preach such-and-such polytheism? As for the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, preaching such-and-such polytheism? Then he turned his face and said: The best thing we consider is testimony that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God. I have been on this. Three dishes: You saw me No one hates the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, more than me, and I love nothing more than the fact that I gained control of him and killed him. If I had died in that state, I would have been among the people of Hell. When God placed Islam in my heart, I came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said: Extend your right hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you. He extended his right and I took my hand, so he said: “What is the matter with you, Amr?” I said: I wanted to make a condition. He said: “What do you require?” I said To forgive me, he said: “Didn’t you know that Islam destroys what came before it, and that migration destroys what came before it, and that Hajj destroys what came before it?” And no one was dearer to me than the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and there was no more time in my eyes than him, and I could not bear to fill my eyes with him out of reverence for him. If I were asked to describe him, I would not be able to do so. Because I had no hope in my eyes from Him, and if I had died in that state, I would have hoped to be among the people of Paradise. Then He appointed us to do things that I do not know. What is my condition in it? If I die, neither mourning nor fire will accompany me. And if you bury me, then attack me in the dirt, then set up around my grave as many camels as can be slaughtered and their flesh divided, until I find peace with you and see what I will return to the messengers of my Lord with ((Narrated by Muslim)).
