Sahih Bukhari 4267 — The Ghazwa of Mu’tah in the land of Sham
حَدَّثَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : " أُغْمِيَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ ، فَجَعَلَتْ أُخْتُهُ عَمْرَةُ تَبْكِي وَا جَبَلَاهْ وَا كَذَا وَا كَذَا تُعَدِّدُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ حِينَ أَفَاقَ : مَا قُلْتِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا قِيلَ لِي آنْتَ كَذَلِكَ " ،
Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir: `Abdullah bin Rawaha fell down unconscious and his sister `Amra started crying and was saying loudly, "O Jabala! Oh so-and-so! Oh so-and-so! and went on calling him by his (good ) qualities one by one). When he came to his senses, he said (to his sister), "When-ever you said something, I was asked, 'Are you really so (i.e. as she says)?"

Hadith Commentary:
In one narration, it is mentioned that the angels would raise an iron mace and ask Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu), "Were you really like this?"
It is understood from this that in some illnesses, before death, the angels may become visible even though the person has not yet died.
Accordingly, Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) recovered from this illness. This is the same Abdullah ibn Rawahah (radi Allahu anhu) who was martyred in the Battle of Mu'tah.
For this reason, this hadith has been included under this chapter.
Further details are forthcoming in the following hadith.
