Informed us Muhammad bin Ali bin Mitteel that he said: My Uncle, Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Mitteel said:
“Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Uthman Samman known as Amri, called me and gave me small embroidered garments and a sac of dirhams and said, “You need to go by yourself to Wasit at this time and give what I gave you to the first man who meets you after you climb over your courser to the waterway in Wasit.”
A tremendous shock overwhelmed me and I said to myself, “A man of my stature is sent for something like this and is assigned to carry insignificant items.”
I went to Wasit, dismounted from the courser, and I asked the first man who encountered me about Hasan bin Muhammad bin Qatat, the pharmacist and the representative of the endowment in Wasit.
He said, “I am him. And who are you?”
I said, “I am Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Mateel.”
He recognized me through my name and gave me greetings. I gave him greetings and we hugged each other. I said to him, “Abu Ja’far Amri sends you his greetings and gave me these little garments and this sac to give them to you.”
He said “Praise belongs to Allah, Muhammad bin Abdullah Amri has just died and I had come out to procure a burial shroud for him.”
He opened the garments and there was all he needed, a Yemeni cloak, shrouds and camphor. There was money in the sac for the porters and the diggers. We attended the procession of his burial and then I returned.”
