[Machine] I passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Ali wearing white clothes while they were talking to Dhayat ibn Khalifa al-Kalbi, who was actually Jibril. I didn't recognize him and didn't greet them. Jibril said, "O Muhammad, who is this?" He replied, "This is my cousin, the son of Abbas." Jibril said, "How clear are his clothes! Indeed, his offspring will rise in power after him. If he had greeted us, we would have returned the greeting." When I returned, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, "O Ibn Abbas, what prevented you from greeting?" I said, "By my father and mother, I saw you talking to Dhayat ibn Khalifa and I disliked interrupting your conversation." He said, "Did you see him?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, your sight will go away and he will be the one to return the greeting upon your death." Ikrimah said, "When Ibn Abbas passed away and was placed on his bed, a brightly shining bird entered into his shroud. They wanted to spread his shroud, but Ikrimah said, "What are you doing? This is the glad tidings from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." When he was placed in his grave, a word was heard by everyone on the edge of his grave, "O reassured soul, return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him], and enter among My [righteous] servants and enter My Paradise."  

مَرَرْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلِيَّ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ وَهُوَ يُنَاجِي دِحْيَةَ بْنَ خَلِيفَةَ الْكَلْبِيَّ وَهُوَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَأَنَا لَا أَعْلَمُ فَلَمْ أُسَلِّمْ فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ «هَذا ابْنُ عَمِّي هَذَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ» قَالَ مَا أَشَدَّ وَضَحَ ثِيَابِهِ أَمَا إِنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ سَتَسُودُ بَعْدَهُ لَوْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا رَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا ابنَ عَبَّاسٍ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُسَلِّمَ؟» قُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تُنَاجِي دِحْيَةَ بْنَ خَلِيفَةَ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ تَنْقَطِعَ عَلَيْكُمَا مُنَاجَاتُكُمَا قَالَ «وَقَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَذْهَبُ بَصَرُكَ وَيُرَدُّ عَلَيْكَ فِي مَوْتِكَ» قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَوُضِعَ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ جَاءَ طَائِرٌ شَدِيدُ الْوَهَجِ فَدَخَلَ فِي أَكْفَانِهِ فَأَرَادُوا نَشْرَ أَكْفَانِهِ فَقَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ؟ هَذِهِ بُشْرَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّتِي قَالَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ فِي لَحْدِهِ تُلُقِّيَ بِكَلِمَةٍ فَسَمِعَهَا مَنْ عَلَى شَفِيرِ قَبْرِهِ {يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي}
