Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) set out to take part in a naval campaign, and he passed away on the ship. The people could not find any place to bury him, so they waited for six days, until after seven days they found a place where they buried him; during that time his body did not decay, but remained just as it had been.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
