Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ سَعِيدَ ابْنَ مَرْجَانَةَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَلَمْ يَمْشِ مَعَهَا فَلْيَقُمْ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ عَنْهُ وَمَنْ مَشَى مَعَهَا فَلَا يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'A man visited a brother of his in another town. Allah sent an angel to wait for him on his way. When he came to the angel, the angel said: Where are you headed? He said: I am going to visit a brother of mine in this town. The angel said: Do you have any favor from him that you need to attend to? He said: No, I only love him for the sake of Allah. The angel said: I am a messenger from Allah to you, informing you that Allah loves you as you have loved him for His sake.'
