Fath al-Rabbani

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and when we had left Madinah Munawwarah, we saw a rider hastening his mount towards us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It seems that this rider intends to come to you." When he reached us, he greeted us with salam and we replied to him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Where are you coming from?" He said: "I am coming from my family, children, and relatives." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where do you intend to go?" He said: "I wish to meet the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have attained your goal." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me about faith, what is it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bear witness that Allah alone is the true deity and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, establish prayer, pay zakat, fast in Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House of Allah." He said: "Yes, I affirm." Meanwhile, the front leg of his camel got stuck in a mouse hole, causing the camel to fall and the man to fall headlong and die. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring this servant to me." Sayyiduna Ammar and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with them both) quickly went, sat the man up, and said: "O Messenger of Allah! The servant has died." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him and then said: "Did you not see that I was turning away from this servant? Indeed, I saw two angels placing fruits of Paradise into his mouth, from which I realized that he died hungry." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! He is among those about whom Allah Almighty has said: «الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ» (Those who believe and do not mix their faith with shirk, for them is security and they are rightly guided.) (Surah Al-An'am: 82)" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take care of your brother." So we lifted him and took him to the water, washed him, applied fragrance, shrouded him, and carried him to the grave. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and sat at the edge of the grave and said: "Make a lahd (side niche), do not make a shaqq (simple pit), for lahd is for us and shaqq is for the people of other religions."
