Arabic hadith text

عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: شَهِدْنَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُدْفَنُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَرَأَيْتُ عَيْنَيْهِ تَدْمَعَانِ فَقَالَ: " هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ أَحَدٍ لَمْ يُقَارِفِ اللَّيْلَةَ؟ . فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: أَنَا. قَالَ: فَانْزِلْ فِي قَبْرِهَا فَنَزَلَ فِي قبرها ". رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Translation

Anas reported: We were present when the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was being buried. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting beside the grave, and I saw his eyes shedding tears. He said, ‘Is there anyone among you who did not have intercourse last night?’ Abu Talha said, ‘I did not.’ He said, ‘Go down into her grave.’ So he went down into her grave. Al-Bukhari transmitted it.
