حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عِلْبَاءُ بْنُ أَحْمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ادْنُ مِنِّي " ، قَالَ : فَمَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ :
" اللَّهُمَّ جَمِّلْهُ ، وَأَدِمْ جَمَالَهُ " ، قَالَ : فَلَقَدْ بَلَغَ بِضْعًا وَمِائَةَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ بَيَاضٌ ، إِلَّا نَبْذٌ يَسِيرٌ ، وَلَقَدْ كَانَ مُنْبَسِطَ الْوَجْهِ ، وَلَمْ يَنْقَبِضْ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Zaid that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to me, "Come near me." Then he passed his blessed hand over my head and beard and prayed, "O Allah, grant him beauty and grant permanence to his beauty." The narrator says that Hazrat Abu Zaid lived to be over a hundred years old, but only a few hairs of his head and beard turned white, and till his last breath he always kept smiling, and never was any sign of distress seen on his face.
