Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36985 — The words of Sulayman bin Dawud

Khaythamah said: The Angel of Death came to Sulayman (peace be upon him) and began to stare at one of those sitting with him (peace be upon him). When he had gone (from there), that man said: "Who was this?" He (peace be upon him) said: "This was the Angel of Death." He said: "He appeared to me to be glaring at me as though he intended to take me away." He (peace be upon him) asked: "So what do you want?" He said: "I want you to carry me on the shoulders of the wind to the land of India." The narrator said: He (peace be upon him) commanded the wind, and the wind lifted the man and set him down in the land of India. Then the Angel of Death came (again) to Sulayman (peace be upon him), and he (peace be upon him) asked: "(Why) were you staring at one of those sitting with me?" The Angel of Death said: "I was astonished at him, (because) I had been commanded to take his soul in India, and he was (sitting) with you."
