حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْضَ بَنَاتِهِ وَهِيَ تَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهَا فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى قُبِضَتْ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِخَيْرٍ تُنْزَعُ نَفْسُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَنْبَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2704
It was narrated that Tbn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) went to one of his daughters when she was dying. He bent over her and did not raise his head until she died. Then he raised his head and said: "Praise be to Allah, the believer is fine; his soul departs from his body whilst he is still praising Allah,"
