حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَنَابٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هُوَ ابْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْبَلَوِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ الْحُصَيْنِ بْنِ وَحْوَحٍ أَنَّ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ الْبَرَائِ مَرِضَ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا أَرَی طَلْحَةَ إِلَّا قَدْ حَدَثَ فِيهِ الْمَوْتُ فَآذِنُونِي بِهِ وَعَجِّلُوا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِجِيفَةِ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ تُحْبَسَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ أَهْلِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3159
Narrated Al-Husayn ibn Wahwah: Talhah ibn al-Bara fell ill and the Prophet ﷺ came to pay him a sick-visit. He said: I think Talhah has died; so tell me (about his death), and make haste, for it is not advisable that the corpse of a Muslim should remain withheld among his family.
