Musnad Abi Ya'la 3413 — Sayyiduna Abu Talhah recited Surah Bara'ah
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، قَرَأَ سُورَةَ بَرَاءَةٌ فَأَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة: 41] فَقَالَ: أَلَا أَرَى رَبِّي يَسْتَنْفِرُنِي شَابًّا وَشَيْخًا، جَهِّزُونِي. فَقَالَ لَهُ بَنُوهُ: قَدْ «غَزَوْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى قُبِضَ» وَغَزَوْتَ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ، وَغَزَوْتَ مَعَ عُمَرَ، فَنَحْنُ نَغْزُو عَنْكَ. فَقَالَ: جَهِّزُونِي. فَجَهَّزُوهُ، فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ فَمَاتَ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ جَزِيرَةً يَدْفِنُوهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فَلَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited Surah Bara'ah, and when he reached this verse: "Go forth, whether light or heavy" [Al-Tawbah: 41], he said: "I see that my Lord is commanding me to go forth both in youth and in old age. Prepare me (for jihad)." His sons said: "You took part in the expeditions with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, then you fought in jihad in the company of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) until he too passed away, then you fought in jihad in the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) as well; so now we will fight in jihad in your place." But he kept saying: "Prepare me." So his sons prepared him, and he set out on a sea voyage and died there. For seven days no island could be found on which to bury him; (when an island was finally found after seven days,) no change (decay) had occurred in his blessed body.
