[Machine] Abu Dharr was on his deathbed while wearing a simple garment. His wife cried, and he asked her why she was crying. She said, "I cry because I have no life without you, and I have no shroud that will fit you as a burial cloth." He comforted her, saying, "Do not cry, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say one day when I was with him, 'A man will die among you with just a piece of land as his witness, accompanied by a group of believers.' He continued, 'Everyone who was with me in that gathering has passed away, divided into different groups, and I am the only one left. I am going to die in this piece of land. Watch the road, for you will witness what I say. I swear by Allah, I have not lied or will ever lie.' She asked, 'How is that possible when the journey has been cut off?' He said, 'Watch the road.' While they were talking, a group of people approached, dragging their garments behind them as if they were flags. They asked, 'What is wrong with you?' She replied, 'There is a Muslim man who needs to be shrouded and buried, and whoever does so will be rewarded.' They asked, 'Who is he?' She said, 'Abu Dharr.' They paid the ransom with their fathers and mothers and put their belts on her back so she could find them. Abu Dharr said, 'Rejoice, for you are the people that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke about. Rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No two Muslim women lose two of their children or three and then seek reward and patience, except they will never see Hell.' Today, I have reached the place where you can see, and if I had a garment that would fit me, I would not be shrouded but in that. I swear by Allah, let no man among you shroud me, whether he be a prince, a servant, or a soldier.' No one in the gathering received anything except a young man from the Ansar who was with the group. He said, 'I am your companion. I have two garments from my mother's dowry spin and I have these two garments on me.' Abu Dharr said, 'You are my companion. Shroud me with them.'"
