Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6215

حَدَّثَنِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ ، سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيُّ ، هَاهُنَا ، وَأَشَارَ لِي سُلَيْمَانُ إِلَى مَجْلِسِ سَعِيدٍ نَاحِيَةَ الْمَقْصُورَةِ ، قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى ، خَرَجْتُ أُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ سَلَكَ فِي الأَمْوَالِ ، فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ دَخَلَ مَالاً ، فَجَلَسَ فِي الْقُفِّ ، وَكَشَفَ عَنْ سَاقَيْهِ وَدَلاَّهُمَا فِي الْبِئْرِ ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَسَّانَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَ سَعِيدٍ : فَأَوَّلْتُهَا قُبُورَهُمْ.

Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said: "Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari told me here" – and Sulaiman pointed to where Sa'eed had sat, beside the hut - "Abu Musa said: 'I went out looking for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and I found that he had gone to the gardens. I followed him and found that he had entered a garden, and sat on the edge of a well. He had uncovered his legs and allowed them to dangle in the well..."' and he quoted a Hadith like that of Yahya bin Hassan (no. 6214), but he did not mention the words of Sa'eed: "I interpreted that as being the position of their graves."
