Abu Alaa bin Umair says that I was present with Hazrat 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 Hazrat Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), and whenever I looked at Hazrat Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), it seemed as if oil had been applied to his face. In fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had passed his blessed hand over his face.

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.
