Abdur Rahman bin Ka'b says that once Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) fell ill, so Umm Mubashir said to him, "Convey my greetings to my son Mubashir when you meet him after death." He replied, "Umm Mubashir, may Allah forgive you, did you not hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the soul of a Muslim remains in the form of birds on the trees of Paradise until the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will return it to its body?" Upon this, Umm Mubashir said, "You have spoken the truth; I seek forgiveness from Allah."
