Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37495 — The words of al-Bara bin Azib
٣٧٤٩٥ - حدثنا أبو معاوية (عن الأعمش) (١) عن سعد بن عبيدة عن البراء ابن عازب قال: في قوله: ﴿يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ ⦗٤١٢⦘ الدُّنْيَا﴾ [إبراهيم: ٢٧]، قال: التثبيت في الحياة الدنيا (إذا جاء الملكان) (٢) إلى الرجل في القبر فقالا له: من ربك؟ فقال: ربي اللَّه، وقالا: ما دينك؟ قال: ديني الإسلام، قالا: ومن نبيك؟ قال: محمد قال: فذلك التثبيت في الحياة الدنيا (٣).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said, regarding the saying of Allah, "Allah keeps firm those who believe with the firm word in the life of this world" [Ibrahim: 27]: "Being kept firm in the life of this world means that when the two angels come to a man in the grave, they both say to him: Who is your Lord? The man answers: My Lord is Allah. Then they both ask: What is your religion? He answers: My religion is Islam. Then they ask: Who is your Prophet? He answers: Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is what is meant by being kept firm in the life of this world.
