Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11188 — Reports on the direction the deceased

Rib'i bin Hirash said: On the night in which Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him and said: "Move aside, your night has been long." Then he propped him against his chest, and he recovered a little and said: "What time is this?" The people said: "The time before dawn." Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from a morning that leads to the Fire, and from its evening." Then we laid him on his side, and he surrendered his soul to its Creator.
