أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ ابْنُ أَخِي مَذْعُورٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَمَثَلُ الْمَوْتِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَخِلَّاءَ، أَحَدُهُمْ مَالُهُ قَالَ: خُذْ مَا شِئْتَ وَدَعْ مَا شِئْتَ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: أَنَا مَعَكَ أَحْمِلُكَ، فَإِذَا مِتَّ تَرَكْتُكَ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: أَنَا مَعَكَ أَدْخُلُ مَعَكَ وَأَخْرُجُ مَعَكَ، فَأَحَدُهُمَا مَالُهُ، وَالْآخَرُ أَهْلُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ، وَالْآخَرُ عَمَلُهُ

✧ The example of the believer and death is like a man who has three friends. One of them is his wealth: he says, 'Take what you wish and leave what you wish.' The second says, 'I am with you; I will carry you, and when you die I will leave you.' The third says, 'I am with you; I will enter with you and exit with you.' One of them is his wealth, the second is his family and children, and the third is his deeds.
