Chapter : Not known.
Narated By Al-Husayn ibn Wahwah : Talhah ibn al-Bara’ fell ill and the Prophet (PBUH) came to pay him a sick-visit. He said: I think Talhah has died; so tell me (about his death), and make haste, for it is not advisable that the corpse of a Muslim should remain withheld among his family.
