Hadith 364
۞
Hadith.365 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) was asked how the Angel of Death takes the soul of a believer.
He (sw) replied: "Indeed, the Angel of Death stands before the believer at the time of their death in the position of a humble servant before their master. He and his companions do not approach until the believer is greeted with peace and given glad tidings of Paradise."
365 - وَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَيْفَ يَتَوَفَّى مَلَكُ اَلْمَوْتِ اَلْمُؤْمِنَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ مَلَكَ اَلْمَوْتِ لَيَقِفُ مِنَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ مَوْقِفَ اَلْعَبْدِ اَلذَّلِيلِ مِنَ اَلْمَوْلَى فَيَقُومُ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ لاَ يَدْنُونَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَبْدَأَهُ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ وَ يُبَشِّرَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ.
