Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37047 — Reports from our Prophet
٣٧٠٤٧ - حدثنا محمد بن بشر قال: حدثنا مسعر عن علقمة بن مرثد عن ابن (سابط) (١) قال: ذكر رجل عند النبي ح فأحسن عليه الثناء، فقال النبي ﷺ: "كيف ذكره للموت؟ " فلم يذكر ذلك، (فقال) (٢): "ما هو كما تذكرون" (٣).
It is narrated from Ibn Sabit that a man was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and was praised highly. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "How is he in remembering death?" That was not mentioned of him. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is not as you have described him."
