Arabic hadith text

وَعَن أنس قَالَ: لما ثقل النَّبِي صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَعَلَ يَتَغَشَّاهُ الْكَرْبُ. فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ: وَاكَرْبَ آبَاهْ فَقَالَ لَهَا: «لَيْسَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ كَرْبٌ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ» . فَلَمَّا مَاتَ قَالَتْ: يَا أَبَتَاهُ أَجَابَ رَبًّا دَعَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ مَنْ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ نَنْعَاهُ. فَلَمَّا دُفِنَ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ: يَا أَنَسُ أَطَابَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ أَنْ تَحْثُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ التُّرَابَ؟ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ

Translation

Anas reported: When the Prophet ﷺ grew gravely ill, distress overwhelmed him. Fatimah said, ‘What distress, my father!’ He replied, ‘Your father will have no distress after today.’ When he died, she said, ‘O my father, he answered a Lord who called him! O my father, his abode is the Garden of Firdaws! O my father, we announce your death to Gabriel!’ When he was buried, Fatimah said, ‘Anas, were your hearts at ease as you cast earth over the Messenger of God ﷺ?’ [Al-Bukhari transmitted it]
