589. Aban Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from the one who reported it: ‘Abu Ja’far has said: ‘When Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Took Ibrahim as a friend, Gave him good news in private. The Angel of Death came up to him in the image of a young white man, wearing two white robes, with water and oil dripping from his head. So Ibrahim entered the house, but welcomed him outside the house. And Ibrahim was an honourable (Ghayour) man, and whenever he went out for a need, he would lock his door, and takes its keys with him . Then he would return and open it. So there was the man (Angel of Death) standing there, as handsome as a man can be. So he grabbed his hand and said: ‘O servant of Allah (azwj), who entered you into my house?’ He said: ‘Its Lord (azwj) Made me enter it’. So he said: ‘Its Lord (azwj) is more deserving of it than I am. So who are you?’ He said: ‘I am the Angel of death’. Ibrahim panicked and said: ‘You have come to me to capture my soul?’ He said: ‘No. Allah (azwj) has Taken a servant as a friend, so I have come to give the good news to him . He said: ‘So who is he ? I would like to serve him until I die’. He said: ‘You are him ’. So he came up to Sara and said to her: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has Taken me as a friend!’
