Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakr died at Hubshi, and his body was carried to Mecca and buried there. When Ayesha arrived, she came to the grave of Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakr and recited,"We were like the two drinking companions of Jadhima for an age of time, until it was said they would never part. But when we separated, it was as though Malik and I, despite the long companionship, had never spent a single night together."Then she said, "By Allah, had I been present when you died, you would have been buried only where you passed away, and had I witnessed your death, I would not now be visiting you."
حدثنا الحسين بن حريث حدثنا عيسى بن يونس عن ابن جريج
توفي عبد الرحمن بن أبي بكر بحبشي قال فحمل إلى مكة فدفن فيها فلما قدمت عائشة أتت قبر عبد الرحمن بن أبي بكر فقالت وكنا كندماني جذيمة حقبة من الدهر حتى قيل لن يتصدعا فلما تفرقنا كأني ومالكا لطول اجتماع لم نبت ليلة معا ثم قالت والله لو حضرتك ما دفنت إلا حيث مت ولو شهدتك ما زرتك
