Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 15707 — Sayyiduna al-Irbad bin Sariyah was

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، أَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مِقْلَاصٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ رُوَيْمٍ، عَنِ الْعِرْبَاضِ بْنِ سَارِيَةَ، وَكَانَ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ إِلَيْهِ كَانَ يَدْعُو: «اللهُمَّ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي، وَوَهَنَ عَظْمِي، فَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْكَ» ، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَا أَنَا يَوْمًا فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ، إِذَا فَتًى شَابٌّ مِنْ أَجْمَلِ الرِّجَالِ، وَعَلَيْهِ دَوَّاحٌ أَخْضَرُ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا الَّذِي تَدْعُو بِهِ؟ فَقُلْتُ: «كَيْفَ أَدْعُو يَا ابْنَ أَخِي؟» قَالَ: قُلْ: اللهُمَّ أَحْسِنِ الْعَمَلَ، وَبَلِّغِ الْأَجَلَ، قُلْتُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ؟» قَالَ: أَنَا رِيبَائِيلُ الَّذِي يُسَلُّ الْحُزْنَ مِنْ قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Sayyiduna al-Irbad bin Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was an aged elder among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he loved that Allah Almighty should take him to Himself (soon), so he used to supplicate: "O Allah, my age has grown great and my bones have become weak, so take me to Yourself." Sayyiduna al-Irbad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: One day, while I was in the mosque of Damascus, a most handsome young man appeared before me, wearing a green cloak. He asked: "What is this supplication that you are making?" I said: "My nephew, how should I supplicate?" He said: "Say: 'O Allah, make (my) deeds good and bring (me) to the appointed term.'" I asked: "Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you?" He said: "I am Riba'il, who removes grief from the hearts of the believers."
