When the Angel of Death Comes

Ibn ‘Abbaas [may Allaah be Pleased with him] said, “Truly, when the believer draws closer to death, the Angel of Death approaches him and greets him with the greeting of ‘Salaam’ and gives him the glad tidings of Jannah before he takes his soul.”

[Tafseer at-Tabaree 13/664]

Ibn al-Qayyim [may Allaah have Mercy on him] said:

Some people have narrated that when they have been besides the death bed of a person, they have heard the dying person say, “Ahlan wa Sahlan (a welcoming phrase in Arabic)” or “Welcome” and the likes.

Our Shaykh has even told us of an incident that there was a group besides the death bed of a person and they heard the dying person say, “Wa ‘Alaykum Salaam! Come! Sit down!” and then facing another direction repeating the same thing.

[Kitaab ar-Rooh (Pg. 64-65)]
