Musnad Ahmad Hadith 19176

It is narrated from Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). When we left Madinah Munawwarah, we saw a rider coming towards us at a gallop. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It seems that this rider is coming to you," and so it happened that the man came close to us. He greeted us with salam, and we replied to him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Where are you coming from?" He said, "I have left my home, children, and family." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Where do you intend to go?" He said, "To reach the Noble Prophet (ﷺ)." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have reached him." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, what is faith?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (ﷺ) is the Messenger of Allah, establish prayer, pay zakat, fast in Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House of Allah." He said, "I affirm all these things." After a short while, the hoof of his camel entered the hole of a wild rat, and his camel threw him down forcefully. His neck broke, and he died. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Lift this man and bring him to me." So Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) quickly rushed towards him and sat him up, then said, "O Messenger of Allah! He has passed away." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) turned away from them, and after a short while said, "When I turned away from you both, I was seeing two angels who were stuffing the fruits of Paradise into his mouth, from which it became clear that he died in a state of hunger." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah! He is among those about whom Allah Almighty has said, 'Those who believe and do not mix their faith with injustice, they are the ones who will have security, and they are rightly guided.'" Then he said, "Take care of your brother." So we lifted him and took him near water, gave him a bath, applied perfume, shrouded him, and carried him to the graveyard. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came and sat at the edge of the grave and said, "Dig a side grave for him, not a box grave, because the side grave is for us and the box grave is for others." The previous hadith is also narrated from this second chain of transmission.
