Machine translationRead the Arabic original
One of the listening brothers says: (Q.A.S.) A Sudanese teacher in Yemen says: I heard on a tape that when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Yemen, and an angel from the sky informed him of the news of the death. What is the authenticity of this claim?
Answer: I do not know of any basis for this; I do not know of any basis for this report. However, yes, he was in Yemen and he arrived during the caliphate of al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), but this claim that an angel informed him of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) death, we do not know of any basis for it. Yes.
