Riyad as-Salihin: Book 17, Hadith 152

An-Nu’man bin Bashir (May Allah be pleased with them) said: When ‘Abdullah bin Rawahah (May Allah be pleased with him) became unconscious, his sister began to weep and shout: “Alas! For the mountain among men. Alas! for such and such (mentioning his virtuous qualities).” When he recovered his consciousness, he said: “I was asked (disapprovingly, by the angels) about everything you said concerning me whether I am as you said.”.

وعن النعمان بن بشير رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ أغمي على عبد الله بن رواحة رضي الله عنه فجعلت أخته تبكي، وتقول‏:‏ واجبلاه، وا كذا وا كذا‏:‏ تعدد عليه فقال حين أفاق‏:‏ ما قلت شيئًا ألا قيل لي ‏:‏أنت كذلك‏؟‏‏!‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
