Lady Umm Mubashir (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was suffering from the illness of death: Convey my greetings to my son Mubashir. Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Umm Mubashir! May Allah forgive you, did you not hear that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The soul of a Muslim is like a bird, eating from the trees of Paradise, until Allah, the Exalted, returns it to its body on the Day of Resurrection. She said: You have spoken the truth, so I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Exalted.
