Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 11877 — on What Has Been Narrated Regarding Qatadah
عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ حِينَ حُضِرَ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ فِي أَقْصَى الدَّارِ قَالَ فَأَبْصَرْتُهُ فِي وَجْهِ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ إِذَا رَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ الدُّهْنَ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَسَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَهُرَيْمٌ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ
It is narrated from Abu Al-Ala bin Umair that when the time of death of Sayyiduna Qatadah bin Milhan (may Allah be pleased with him) approached, I was present with him at that time. Meanwhile, a man passed by from a distance inside the house. I saw the reflection of the passerby (like a mirror) on the face of Qatadah bin Milhan (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Al-Ala says: Whenever I used to look at him, it seemed as if oil had been applied to his face. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had passed his blessed hand over his face.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The virtue of Sayyiduna Qatadah bin Milhan Qaisi radi Allahu anhu is evident, in that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passed his blessed hand over his face, and it became so clear and radiant that it was as if it were a mirror, in which the reflection of another person could be seen. This incident is among the miracles of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
