ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ إِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ حَوْبَةً وَقَدْ مَاتَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لَهُ
[Machine] Al-Tabarani reported that Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr al-Dawsi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Mecca and said, "O Messenger of Allah, come to a fortification with a number of warriors." Abu Zubayr said, "There is a fortress on top of the mountain that is only accessible by means of the ropes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Do you have anyone behind you?" He replied, "I do not know," so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him.
When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Medina, Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr came to him as an emigrant, accompanied by a man from his tribe. This man contracted a severe fever, which caused him great distress, so he became anxious and took a knife and slit his veins, causing himself to bleed excessively until he died. He was buried, and it was mentioned in what the sleeping person sees at night that Al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr would come to him in a good state, with his hands tied. So the sleeping person said to him, "Is so-and-so (mentioning the man who died) okay?" He replied, "Yes." He asked him, "What did you do?" He replied, "My Lord did good to me and forgave me through my migration to His Prophet ﷺ." The sleeping person asked him, "What did you do with your hands?" He replied, "My Lord said to me, 'We will not rectify from you what you have corrupted of yourself.'" Al-Tufayl then narrated this dream to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and supplicated, saying, "O Allah, be merciful to him and his hands. O Allah, be merciful to him and his hands. O Allah, be merciful to him and his hands."
