‘Amir ibn Fuhayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu)

Is the following narration authentic?

‘Urwah ibn Zubayr (rahimahullah) narrated: “When ‘Amir ibn Fuhayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) was martyred, ‘Amir ibn Tufayl saw his body being lifted into the air. We considered that these were the Angels lifting him.”

Answer:

This incident is suitable to quote for the purpose of the merits of the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum).

Imam Bukhari has also alluded to it (mursalan) in his Sahih.

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 4093)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
