The questioner : From 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah ibn Jundub, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us and said: Then he mentioned a long passage, stating that Ibn al-Qayyim in his book "al-Wabil al-Sayb" and knowing that Ibn al-Qayyim in his book "al-Wabil al-Sayb" said, and that Shaykh al-Islam held this hadith in high regard.
The Shaykh : I do not have it clearly in mind right now, but if this is the hadith narrated by al-Bazzar, then its chain of narration is not valid. However, if the narrator or the one who extracted it is other than al-Bazzar, I do not have an answer at hand.
I saw something wonderful last night. I saw a man from my Ummah to whom the Angel of Death came to take his soul, so his dutifulness to his parents came to him and turned the Angel of Death back from him.
إني رأيت البارحة عجبا رأيت رجلا من أمتي أتاه ملك الموت ليقبض روحه فجاءه بره بوالديه فرد ملك الموت عنهThe Shaykh : I do not have it clearly in mind right now, but if this is the hadith narrated by al-Bazzar, then its chain of narration is not valid. However, if the narrator or the one who extracted it is other than al-Bazzar, I do not have an answer at hand.
