Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Yahya ibn Yahya al-Tamimi, Yahya ibn Ayyub, and Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us. Yahya ibn Yahya said: He informed us, and the other two said: He narrated to us. Isma'il ibn Ja'far, from Shurayk, who is ibn Abi Numayr, from Ata' ibn Yasar, from A'ishah, who said:
whenever it was her turn for God's messenger to spend the night with her he would go out towards the end of the night to al-Baqi' and say, “Peace be upon you, household of a people who are believers. What you were being promised will come to you tomorrow, you receiving it after some delay, and if God will we shall join you. O God, grant forgiveness to the inhabitants of Baqi' al- Gharqad.” كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كلما كان ليلتها من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخرج من آخر الليل إلى البقيع فيقول: السلام عليكم دار قوم مؤمنين وأتاكم ما توعدون غداً مؤجلون وإنا إن شاء الله بكم لاحقون اللهم اغفر لأهل بقيع الغرقد
Mishkat al-Masabih 1766
Qutaybah did not include the phrase "And you will be met with."

The Shaykh : It appears that he said: "Abode of a people of believers. And you will be met with what you were promised tomorrow, [you are] delayed," meaning that you are delayed until tomorrow. The intended meaning is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله ولتنظر نفس ما قدمت لغد
[Al-Hashr 59:18]
which is the Day of Resurrection.
