[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, his companions surrounded him and cried. They gathered together and a man with a prominent beard and a broad chest came in. He stood over them and cried, then turned to the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Verily, in Allah, there is consolation for every calamity, compensation for every loss, and a successor for every deceased. So turn to Allah and seek His help, and look at you in times of difficulty. For indeed, the true affliction is the one who is not patient and does not seek refuge." Some of them asked each other, "Do you know this man?" Abu Bakr and Ali said, "Yes, this is the brother of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Al-Khidr, peace be upon him. He is a witness to what has happened, even though 'Abbad ibn Abdus-Samad is not a condition for this book." This is a witness to what has been mentioned before.
لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْدَقَ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَبَكَوْا حَوْلَهُ وَاجْتَمَعُوا فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ أَصْهَبُ اللِّحْيَةِ جَسِيمٌ صُبَيْحٌ فَتَخَطَّا رِقَابَهُمْ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَعِوَضًا مِنْ كُلِّ فَائِتٍ وَخَلَفًا مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ فَإِلَى اللَّهِ فَأَنِيبُوا وَإِلَيْهِ فَارْغَبُوا وَنَظَرةٌ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي الْبَلَاءِ فَانْظُرُوا فَإِنَّمَا الْمُصَابُ مَنْ لَمْ يُجْبَرْ وَانْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ تَعْرِفُونَ الرَّجُلَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعَلِيٌّ نَعَمْ هَذَا أَخُو رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْخَضِرُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ «هَذَا شَاهِدٌ لِمَا تَقَدَّمَ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ لَيْسَ مِنْ شَرْطِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ» هذا شاهد لما قبله
