A narrator named Abu Sinan says: I buried my son, and Abu Talhah Khawlani was present with me at the edge of the grave. When I was about to come out of the grave, he held my hand and helped me out and said: Shall I not give you glad tidings? This hadith has reached me that Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "When a believing servant's son passes away, Allah Almighty says to the angels: Did you take the soul of my servant's child? The angels reply: Yes. Allah Almighty says: Did you seize the fruit of his heart (meaning a piece of his liver)? The angels say: Yes. Allah Almighty asks: What did my servant say then? The angels say: He recited 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un' and praised You. So Allah Almighty says: Build a house in Paradise for this person and name it 'Bayt al-Hamd' (the House of Praise)."

From him, Mu'awiyah bin Salih and other people of his city have narrated traditions. The narrator named Abu Sinan is Shaybani. He came to Basra. The people of Basra recorded hadiths from him. His name is Sa'id bin Sinan, while the narrator named Abu Sinan Kufi's name is Dhirar bin Murrah.)
