٣٧٤٩٤ - حدثنا إسحاق بن منصور قال: حدثنا أبو رجاء عن محمد بن مالك عن البراء بن عازب: ﴿تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ (سَلَامٌ) (١)﴾ [الأحزاب: ٤٤] قال: يوم يلقون ملك الموت ليس من مؤمن يقبض روحه إلا سلم عليه (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding the saying of Allah, "Their greeting on the Day they meet Him will be: Peace" [Al-Ahzab: 44], that he said: This is the day on which they will meet the Angel of Death. There is no believer whose soul he seizes except that he greets him with peace.
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.
٣٧٤٩٦ - حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن الأعمش عن عبد اللَّه بن السائب عن زاذان عن البراء (بن عازب) (١) قال: ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا﴾ [النساء: ٥٨] قال: الأمانة في الصلاة، والأمانة في الغسل من (الجنابة) (٢)، والأمانة في الكيل، والأمانة في الوزن، وأعظم ذلك في الودائع (٣).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said, "Indeed Allah commands you to render trusts to those to whom they are due" [Al-Nisa: 58], and he said: Prayers too are a trust, there is a trust in weighing, there is a trust in the ritual bath for major impurity, there is a trust in measuring, and the greatest trust is in things left on deposit.
