I saw an old man in Medina speaking, so I asked about him and was told, "This is Ubayy bin Kaab."He said that when death approached Adam , he said to his sons, "My sons, I have a craving for some of the fruits of Paradise."So they went out searching for it, and the angels met them carrying his shroud, his burial perfume, axes, shovels, and baskets.The angels said to them, "Children of Adam, what do you want and what are you seeking?" Or they said, "What do you want and where are you going?"They replied, "Our father is ill and craves some of the fruits of Paradise."The angels said to them, "Go back, for your father's appointed time has come."So they came back, and when Eve saw them, she recognized them and took refuge with Adam.He said, "Away from me, away from me. I was only afflicted because of you. Leave me alone with the angels of my Lord
."So they took his soul, washed him, shrouded him, perfumed him, dug his grave, made a niche in it, prayed over him, then entered his grave and laid him in it. They placed the bricks over him, then came out of the grave and poured earth over him.Then they said, "Children of Adam, this is your way."

رأيت شيخا بالمدينة يتكلم فسألت عنه فقالوا هذا أبي بن كعب فقال إن آدم عليه السلام لما حضره الموت قال لبنيه أي بني إني أشتهي من ثمار الجنة فذهبوا يطلبون له فاستقبلتهم الملائكة ومعهم أكفانه وحنوطه ومعهم الفؤوس والمساحي والمكاتل فقالوا لهم يا بني آدم ما تريدون وما تطلبون أو ما تريدون وأين تذهبون قالوا أبونا مريض فاشتهى من ثمار الجنة قالوا لهم ارجعوا فقد قضي قضاء أبيكم فجاءوا فلما رأتهم حواء عرفتهم فلاذت بآدم فقال إليك إليك عني فإني إنما أوتيت من قبلك خلي بيني وبين ملائكة ربي تبارك وتعالى فقبضوه وغسلوه وكفنوه وحنطوه وحفروا له وألحدوا له وصلوا عليه ثم دخلوا قبره فوضعوه في قبره ووضعوا عليه اللبن ثم خرجوا من القبر ثم حثوا عليه التراب ثم قالوا يا بني آدم هذه سنتكم
