As death approached, Allah sent the Angel of Death to him who asked for his permission to take his soul away. The angel had never before asked the permission of anyone to do this, and when the time came the angels prayed over his precious body. As his Companions were about to prepare him for his funeral a voice was heard saying, "Do not remove the shirt from him when he is washed."
Sida Geeridu, in Eebe u soo Angel dhimashada isaga oo weydiiyay sida uu u fasax oo uu naftiisa qaado in. Markaasaa malaa'igtii waxay ku weligeen ka codsaday ogolaansho ah qofinaad sidaan sameyso, iyo markii uu yimid wakhtigii Malaa'igta u baryay u taliya, uuna jirka qaali ah. Rafiiq ahaayeen inay isagii u diyaar garoobaan oo aaska ka cod laga maqlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, "ha ka saarin maaliyada iyo kan ka markuu maydhay."
