Hadith of Qatadah ibn Milhan

حَدِيثُ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ، ٢٠٧٦٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَ أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ حِينَ حَضَرَ، فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ فِي أَقْصَى الدَّارِ، قَالَ: فَأَبْصَرْتُهُ فِي وَجْهِ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: " وَكُنْتُ إِذَا رَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ الدِّهَانَ "، قَالَ: " وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ "، (١)، •

Abu Alaa bin Umair says that I was present with Qatadah bin Milhan when the time of his death approached. At that moment, a man passed by the farthest corner of the house. I saw him in front of Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), and whenever I looked at Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), it seemed as if oil had been applied to his face. In fact, the Prophet (ﷺ) had passed his blessed hand over his face.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ (٢) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، وَهُرَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، كُنْتُ عِنْدَ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ (٣)، ،

Yahya ibn Ma'in and Huraym ibn Abd al-A'la narrated to us, they said: Mu'tamir narrated to us, he said: My father said, from Abu al-'Ala ibn Umayr: I was with Qatada ibn Milhan.
