Hadith 3030
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ (يَعْنِي الشَّافِعِيَّ) عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ طَائِرٌ يَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ))
Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The soul of the believer is like a bird, which eats from the trees of Paradise, until the day Allah, the Exalted, will resurrect him, and then He will return his soul to his body.

Lady Umm Mubashir (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was suffering from the illness of death: Convey my greetings to my son Mubashir. Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Umm Mubashir! May Allah forgive you, did you not hear that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The soul of a Muslim is like a bird, eating from the trees of Paradise, until Allah, the Exalted, returns it to its body on the Day of Resurrection. She said: You have spoken the truth, so I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Exalted.
