It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: May my father be ransomed for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! He (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of his passing a month before his death. Then, when the time of parting drew near, he (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered us to himself in the house of the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). Then he looked at us; his (peace and blessings be upon him) eyes filled with tears, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) composed himself. Then he said: "Welcome! May Allah grant you life, may Allah have mercy on you, may Allah give you refuge, may Allah help you, may Allah raise your rank, may Allah benefit you, may Allah guide you, may Allah provide for you, may Allah grant you success, may Allah keep you safe, may Allah accept you. I counsel you to fear Allah (taqwa), I commend you to Allah, and I appoint Him as my successor (guardian) over you. Indeed, I am to you a clear warner from Him. Do not behave rebelliously and arrogantly against Allah among His servants and in His lands, for Allah has said to me and to you: 'That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who desire neither exaltedness upon the earth nor corruption, and the (good) end is for the righteous.' And He said: 'Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant?'" Then he said: "The appointed term (the time of death) has drawn near, and the return is to Allah, to the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary (Sidrat al-Muntaha), to the Garden of Refuge (Jannat al-Ma'wa), to the Highest Companion, to the brimming cup, and to the (great) share and a pleasant life." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, who will wash you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The men of my household, the nearest first, then the next nearest." We said: "In what shall we shroud you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In these clothes of mine if you wish, or in a Yemeni suit (hullah), or in white cloth of Egypt." We said: "Who among us will lead the (funeral) prayer over you?" Then we wept, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) wept too. Then he said: "Wait! May Allah forgive you and reward you with the best on behalf of your Prophet. When you have washed me and shrouded me, place me on a bedstead in this very house of mine, at the edge of my grave, then go out from me for a while, for the first to pray over me will be my companion and close friend Jibril, then Mika'il, then Israfil, then the Angel of Death with his hosts. Then come in to me group after group, send blessings upon me and send abundant greetings of peace. Do not hurt me with a wailing woman, nor with clamour, nor with shrieking. Let the men of my household and their women pray over me first, then you. Convey abundant greetings of peace from me to those of my Companions who are absent, for I have given greetings of peace to everyone who pledged allegiance to me on my religion until the Day of Resurrection." We said: "Who will lower you into your grave?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My family, together with many angels; they see you from where you cannot see them."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one transmitted the chain of this hadith soundly (as connected) except Amr bin Muhammad al-Anqazi."
"And al-Muharibi narrated it from Abd al-Malik bin al-Asbahani, from Murrah, from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), without mentioning Khallad al-Saffar, al-Ash'ath bin Taliq or al-Hasan al-Urani."
