Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37718 — Yahya bin Jadah

It is narrated from Rib'i bin Hirash that he said: Someone came to me and said to me: Your brother has died. So I came quickly. He had been covered in his clothes, and I was standing at my brother's head, seeking forgiveness for him and saying Inna lillahi, when suddenly the cloth came off his face and he said: Peace be upon you. We said in reply: And upon you be peace. Glory be to Allah! He said: Glory be to Allah! I came before Allah after you. There I was received with a gentle breeze and fragrance, and by a Lord who was not angry. He clothed me in green garments of sundus and silk. I found the matter easier than you suppose, yet do not sit back in reliance on this. I asked my Lord for permission to inform you and give you glad tidings. Carry me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), for he (peace and blessings be upon him) took a covenant from me that I would not depart without coming to him. Then this man died on the spot. The narrator said: He took a pebble and threw it. The narrator said: I do not know whether he was quicker or this.
