Abdur Rahman ibn Ka'b reported from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Ka'b was nearing death, Umm Bishr bint al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur came to him and said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, if you meet so-and-so, convey my greetings to him." He replied, "May Allah forgive you, O Umm Bishr. We are too preoccupied for that." She said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, have you not heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, 'The souls of the believers are in green birds hanging from the trees of Paradise'?" He said, "Yes." She said, "That is it."
