حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ (١) ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَحْرِ ابْنِ كَنِيزٍ (٢) السَّقَّاءُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ نَبْهَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامٌ أَبُو عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا حُجَّاجًا، فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِالْعَرْجِ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِحَيَّةٍ تَضْطَرِبُ، فَلَمْ تَلْبَثْ أَنْ مَاتَتْ، فَأَخْرَجَ لَهَا رَجُلٌ خِرْقَةً مِنْ عَيْبَتِهِ فَلَفَّهَا فِيهَا، وَدَفَنَهَا وَخَذَّ لَهَا فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا مَكَّةَ، فَإِنَّا لَبِالْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِذْ وَقَفَ عَلَيْنَا شَخْصٌ فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ صَاحِبُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَابِرٍ؟ قُلْنَا: مَا نَعْرِفُهُ. قَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ، ، صَاحِبُ الْجَانِّ؟ قَالُوا: هَذَا. قَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ جَزَاكَ اللهُ خَيْرًا. أَمَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ التِّسْعَةِ مَوْتًا الَّذِينَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ " (١)، •

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with the intention of performing Hajj. When we reached the place of Arj, we saw a snake writhing and shortly thereafter it died. A man took a cloth from his belongings, wrapped the snake in it, dug the ground, and buried it. When we reached Makkah Mukarramah, we were in Masjid al-Haram when a man came to us and stopped, saying, "Who among you is the companion of Amr bin Jabir?" We said, "We do not know." Then he asked, "Who is the one who shrouded and buried that snake?" People pointed towards that man. He said, "May Allah reward you with goodness. He was the last to die among the nine men who came to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to listen to the Holy Qur'an."
