Ḥibbān also (9/12/6832), Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim in al-Sunnah (2/547/1151), and al-Bayhaqī in al-Sunan (8/153), from the hadith of Jubayr ibn Muṭʿim, who said:

A woman came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he instructed her to return to him. She said, “What if I come and do not find you?”—as though she meant his death. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said … and then mentioned it. *

3118—“You will come upon a man wrapped in a striped cloak, conducting business with people, who is among the people of Paradise.”

It has a supporting report with similar wording, which follows it.

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shaqīq also has another chain of transmission, narrated from him by Kahmas ibn al-Ḥasan. He said: Haramī ibn al-Ḥārith and Usāmah ibn Khuraym narrated to us—they were engaged in military campaigns—and they related a report to me, while neither of them realized
