Muwatta Malik 1737
Malik said that Yahya ibn Said had related to him that A'isha said that Amir ibn Fuhayra had said at the time of the epidemic, "I have seen death before tasting it, the coward's destination is from above him."
قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ وَكَانَ عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْمَوْتَ قَبْلَ ذَوْقِهِ إِنَّ الْجَبَانَ حَتْفُهُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ ‏.‏
