Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hasan narrates that Allah Almighty once sent the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to admit a man into Paradise. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by one of the places of worship of the Jews, so he went to them while they were reading their book. When they saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they closed the book and went outside. In one corner of the place of worship, there was a man lying near death. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to that man, and the man said: These people (the Jews) were prevented from reading because you came to them, and they were reading the attributes of a Prophet, which are yours. Then the man went to the book, opened it, and read, then said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. Then the soul of that man was taken. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take care of your brother." The narrator says: Then the Companions washed him, shrouded him, applied perfume, and the funeral prayer was performed over him.
