أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّعْرَانِيُّ، ثنا جَدِّي، ثنا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ سَأَلَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَعْرُورٍ، فَقَالُوا: تُوُفِّيَ، وَأَوْصَى بِثُلُثِهِ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَأَوْصَى أَنْ يُوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ لَمَّا احْتُضِرَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَصَابَ الْفِطْرَةَ، وَقَدْ رَدَدْتُ ثُلُثَهُ عَلَى وَلَدِهِ " ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: " اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ جَنَّتَكَ، وَقَدْ فَعَلْتَ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from his father that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about al-Bara' bin Ma'rur (may Allah be pleased with him). They said: O Messenger of Allah, he has died; he bequeathed a third of his wealth to you, and he also instructed that when death came to him his face should be turned towards the Qiblah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has attained the fitrah (natural way), and I have returned his third to his children." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went and offered the funeral prayer over him and said: 'Allahumma ighfir lahu warhamhu wa adkhilhu jannataka, wa qad fa'alta' (O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him and admit him into Your Paradise, and indeed You have done so).
