[Machine] When Allah revealed to His Messenger ﷺ , "Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet" [Al-Hujurat 2], and the verse “And Allah does not like everyone who is self-deluded and boastful” [Al-Hadid 23], my father sat in his house crying because the Messenger of Allah was no longer with us. He asked him about his affairs, and he said, "I am a loud-voiced person and I fear that my deeds may be in vain." The Messenger of Allah replied, "No, you will live a praiseworthy life, die as a martyr, and Allah will admit you into paradise in peace." On the day of Yamamah, my father was martyred while fighting alongside Khalid ibn Al-Walid. A Muslim man saw him in a dream and said, "When I was killed, a Muslim man took my shield and hid it in the farthest corner of the camp. He covered it with a sheet and placed a saddle on top. Go and inform the Amir, but be careful not to say it was a dream and dismiss it. When you reach Madinah, go to the Khalifa of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and inform him that I have a debt of so and so, and that my son is a slave named so and so." My father followed this advice and went to the Amir, who verified the information. He also went to Abu Bakr and informed him, and he acted according to his instructions. We do not know of anyone who followed the instructions of his will after his death except for Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this incident in his summary.
