كلام ربيع بن (خثيم)Sayings of Rabi‘ ibn Khuthaym
Hadith 37586
٣٧٥٨٦ - حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن حصين قال: حدثني من سمع الربيع يقول: عجبا لملك الموت وإتيانه ثلاثة: مَلِك ممتنع في حصونه، فيأتيه فينزع نفسه، ويدع ملكه خلفه، (وطبيب) (١) (نحرير) (٢) يداوي الناس فيأتيه فينزع نفسه (٣).
Hazrat Rabi’ says that it is astonishing how the Angel of Death comes to three types of people. (First) a king who is locked in his fortresses, yet the angel comes to him, takes out his soul, and leaves his kingdom behind him. And a skilled physician who treats people; the angel comes to him and takes out his soul.
