The reciter: Qutaybah ibn Sa'id said: Al-Layth ibn Sa'd narrated to us from Yazid ibn Abi Habib from Abi al-Khayr from 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out one day and prayed over the people of Uhud his prayer for the dead, then he turned to the pulpit and said:
I am your predecessor and I am a witness against you. By Allah, I am now looking at my Tank-lake (Al-Kauthar) and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that after me you will worship others besides Allah, but I am afraid that you will start competing for (the pleasures of) this world.
إني فرطكم وأنا شهيد عليكم وإني والله لأنظر إلى حوضي الآن وإني قد أعطيت مفاتيح خزائن الأرض أو مفاتيح الأرض وإني والله ما أخاف عليكم أن تشركوا بعدي ولكني أخاف عليكم أن تنافسوا فيها .
