أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عُمَيْر ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ
قَتَادَةَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ حِينَ حُضِرَ ، فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ فِي أَقْصَى الدَّارِ ، قَالَ : فَأَبْصَرْتُهُ فِي وَجْهِ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : وَكُنْتُ إِذَا رَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ الدِّهَانَ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
مَسَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ . .
Abu Alaa bin Umair says that I was present with Hazrat Qatadah bin Milhan when the time of his death approached. At that moment, a man passed by from the farthest corner of the house; I saw him in front of Hazrat Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). Whenever I looked at Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), it seemed as if oil had been applied to his face. In fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had passed his blessed hand over his face.
