On the authority of Abd al-Rahman ibn Ka’b, on the authority of his father, he said: When Ka’b’s death approached, the mother of Bishr bint al-Bara’ ibn Ma’rur came to him and said: O Abu Abdul Rahman, if you meet someone, extend my greetings to him. He said: May God forgive you, O mother of Bishr. We are more busy than that. She said: O father. Abdul Rahman: Did you not hear the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say: “The souls of the believers are in green birds clinging to the trees of Paradise?” He said: Yes. She said: He is that. Narrated by Ibn Majah and Al-Bayhaqi in the Book of Resurrection and Resurrection
