ابن بريدة (report 2242; identity unresolved)

Related to us: Qabīṣa ibn al-Faḍl ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ṭabarī; he said: related to us: Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm, known as Shādhān al-Fārisī; he said: related to us: Saʿīd ibn al-Ṣalt; he said: related to us: Abū Ḥanīfa, from ʿAlqama ibn Marthad, from Ibn Burayda, [from his father], who said: We were sitting with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said to his companions: “Rise and come with us to visit our Jewish neighbour.” He entered and found him dying. He asked after him, then said: “Do you testify that there is no god but God and that I am the Messenger of God?” He looked at his father. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “Do you testify that there is no god but God and that I am the Messenger of God?” He looked at his father, but his father did not speak to him. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said again: “Do you testify that there is no god but God and that I am the Messenger of God?” He looked at his father, and his father told him: “Testify to him.” The young man said: “I testify that there is no god but God and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of God.” The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “Praise be to God, who has rescued a soul from the Fire through me.”
