أبو مويهبة مولى النبي؛ أيقظه النبي من جوف الليل وقال: إني قد أُمرت أن أستغفر لأهل البقيع فانطلق معي، فلما وقف بين القبور قال: السلام عليكم يا أهل المقابر، أقبلت الفتن كقطع الليل المظلم. 1
التخيير
ثم أقبل على أبي مويهبة فقال: إني قد أُوتيت مفاتيح خزائن الدنيا والخلد فيها ثم الجنة، فخُيّرت بين ذلك ولقاء ربي والجنة؛ فقال: بأبي أنت وأمي، فخذ مفاتيح الدنيا؛ فقال: لا والله يا أبا مويهبة، لقد اخترت لقاء ربي والجنة. 1 انظر وفاة النبي.
