So I said, 'O Abu Dharr, I have a question for you regarding something from the matters of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'If it is a secret from the secrets of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then I did not inform you about it.' I said, 'It is not a secret, but whenever he would meet a person, he would take his hand and shake it.' He said, 'Regarding this, I messed up. He never shook my hand except one time, and that was the last time. He sent for me, so I went to him in the illness in which he passed away. I found him lying down, so I leaned over him. He raised his hand and then stopped me.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ مَعَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ تَقَطَّعَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ سِرًّا مِنْ سِرِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكَ بِهِ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ بِسِرٍّ وَلَكِنْ كَانَ إِذَا لَقِيَ الرَّجُلَ يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ يُصَافِحُهُ؟ قَالَ عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ لَمْ يَلْقَنِي قَطُّ إِلَّا أَخَذَ بِيَدِي غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ آخِرَهُنَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ مُضْطَجِعًا فَأَكْبَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَالْتَزَمَنِي ﷺ
