On the authority of Al-Baraa ibn `Aazib (radhiy`Allahu `anhu) who said:
“While we were with the Messenger of Allah (sall`Allahu `alayhi wasallam), he suddenly looked towards a group (of people) and said: ‘For what reason have they gathered here?’
It was said, ‘In order to dig a grave.’ So the Messenger of Allah (sall`Allahu `alayhi wasallam) became alarmed and startled and he quickly went ahead of his Companions until he reached the grave, then he knelt upon it, and I turned my face towards him (sall`Allahu `alayhi wasallam), in order to see what he was doing. He (sall`Allahu `alayhi wasallam) cried until the earth became wet with his tears, then he turned to us and said: ‘O my brothers! Prepare for a day like this.’”
