Abi bin Saleh رضي الله عنه said that Gabriel had just paid a visit to him and, after giving him a tumbler full of water had given him the glad tidings that he, his brother and his mother were among those upon whom God had showered graces that were in the company of the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the virtuous. (Jbne Sandab etc.).
Abdur Rahman bin Ghanam Ash‘ari (رضي الله عنه) is reported to have said that the son of Hadrat Mu‘adh bin Jabal! (رضي الله عنه) died of the plague of Amwas! On the death of his son, Hadrat Mu‘adh bin Jbal(رضي الله عنه) showed remarkable endurance. But in a battle when he was hit by the spear of a disbeliever and was on the point of death, he uttered, “The friend has come for help. A man who puts his needy friend off with excuses and regret never meets with success”. ‘Abdur Rahman bin Auf (رضي الله عنه) states that when he heard this strange sentence, he asked Hadrat Mu‘adh (رضي الله عنه) if he was seeing something.
The latter replied in the affirmative and said that God had conferred honour on him for showing remarkable powers of endurance on the death of his son. He added that his son had come to him to give the glad tidings that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), along with his favourite angels, the martyrs, and his virtuous companions, had drawn up a hundred lines, and would offer funeral prayer to bless his soul and then escort him to paradise. After uttering these words, he fainted. When he was unconscious, the people saw him shaking hands with somebody and heard him say ‘‘Welcome! Welcome! I'm coming to you.’’ No sooner did he say this than he died. ‘Abdur Raahman bin Auf (رضي الله عنه states that~ after the death of Mu‘adh (رضي الله عنه) he saw in a dream
1. Amwas is the name of a place in Syria. Before the dawn of Islam, there a plague spread. On this analogy this olague is known as the Plague of Amwas. that he (Mu‘adh) was surrounded by a large number of people who were arrayed in white dress and rode the horses, standing amidst the crowd, he was raising a slogan, ‘it is the reward of those who endure with patience the calamity of plague and wound of spears.’ He was also reciting a verse ‘‘All praises be to Allah, Who kept to His promise and made us the owners of this abode. We can live in this paradise at any place we like. What a good reward is for those who toil.’”” ‘Abdur Rahman bin Auf (رضي الله عنه) states that after this, he woke up. (bn ‘Asakar).
Hadrat Sufyan (mercy of Allah be upon him) states that when Hadrat Daud bin Abi Hind (رضي الله عنه) was attacked by a plague, he fainted. After some time, when he regained consciousness, he said that two people had appeared before him. One of them asked the other: What did you find with him? The latter replied that he had spent much of his time praising God, visiting the mosque, and reciting the part of the Qur’an, he had committed to memory. (Abu Na‘im).
