[Machine] Abu Talhah Al-Ansari recited Surah Bara'ah. When he came across this verse, "March forth, light and heavy" [Tawbah 41], he said, "I see that our Lord will gather us, the elderly and the young. Prepare me, O my sons." His sons said, "May Allah have mercy on you, you fought alongside the Messenger of Allah until he passed away, then with Abu Bakr until he passed away, and then with Umar. We will fight on your behalf." However, he refused. So they prepared him, and he embarked on the sea and passed away. They could not find an island to bury him on until after seven days, and he did not decompose. So they buried him there.
أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ بَرَاءَةٍ فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] قَالَ أَرَى رَبَّنَا ﷻ سَيَسْتَنْفِرُنَا شُيُوخًا وَشُبَّانًا جَهِّزُونِي أَيْ بَنِيَّ فَقَالَ بَنُوهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ قَدْ غَزَوْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَمَعَ عُمَرَ ؓ فَنَحْنُ نَغْزُو عَنْكَ فَأَبَى فَجَهَّزُوهُ فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ فَمَاتَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ جَزِيرَةً يَدْفِنُوهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِيهَا
