User:Ali.shabbir252/Last Days of the Holy Prophet Muahammad (PBUH)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) died on 12 Rabi-ul-Awwal (3rd month of Islamic calander)

The entire Muslim community can learn from the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life because just as his birth gave Muslims reason to be proud, so too was his death a mercy for everyone.

Few days before:
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was staying at Hazrat Maimoona's (R.A) residence three days before his death and said

"Gather all of my wives"

The wives of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gathered together.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then spoke:

"Do you all allow me to spend my sick days at Aisha's (R.A) house?"

Everyone said, Oh Prophet of God, we allow you, in response.

When he tried to stand up but was unable to, Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Fazl bin Abbas supported the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by moving him from Hazrat Maimoona's (R.A) chamber to Hazrat Aisha's (R.A)

During this time (of illness and weakness), Prophet's (PBUH) companions became concerned and exchanged questions

What has happened to the Prophet?

What has happened to the Prophet?

until everyone started to gather in the mosque, where there was a rush.

Prophet was heavily perspiring.

According to Hazrat Aisha, she had never before in her life witnessed anyone perspiring so profusely.

And she said:

"Because the Prophet's hands were far more pure and holy than mine, I was holding them and massaging them on his face."

She further said that God's beloved

continued to repeat

"There is no god but Allah, death undoubtedly has its own difficulty."

Due to the Prophet's terrifying period during this time, the level of noise inside the mosque kept rising.

The Prophet (PBUH) asked:

"What are these noises?"

Oh Prophet of the God, he received a response! These people are worried about your situation.

He replied that take him towards them

Then he wished to get up but he could not so he was poured 7 bottles of water on him, afterwards there was some affect by which he was brought to the pulpit

This was the Prophet's (PBUH) last sermon and his last words were:

"Oh you people! You might be afraid of my death?"

Everyone said:

"Yes oh Prophet of God"

He then said:

"oh people...!

We are not meant to meet in this world; instead, I'll see all of you at Hauz-e-Kausar (Lake of Kausar), which, by God, I can see even from here,

oh people...!

I am not concerned about any poverty that may come your way, but I am concerned about the competition you may engage in for the pleasures of this World, just like the communities that came before you, and this (World) destroys you just as it destroyed the communities that came before you"

then he further said



(He kept on repeating this to take an oath that they all will be particular in offering their prayers)

He then said:

"Oh people! be afraid of God when it comes to women, be afraid of Him in the matters of women, it is my will for you to treat women with kindness."

He further added:

"Oh people, a person was given a choice to either choose between the World or a person who is with God, the person chose who was with God"

Nobody knew what the Prophet (PBUH) meant by this statement, but he seemed satisfied.

However, Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) was the only one who understood this statement, and he began crying aloud, interrupting the sermon to profess to the Prophet

"We sacrifice our ancestors for you, our generations for you, and our wealth for you."

He kept crying and saying this.

The companions of the Prophet (PBUH) starred Hazrat Abu Bakar (RA) (in annoyance) that how did he interrupt the Prophet's (PBUH) sermon? To this the Prophet (PBUH) responded to the situation:

"Oh people, leave Abu Bakr because there is noone amongst you who did an act of kindness towards me and I have not returned the favour except Abu Bakr whose return I have left it on God. Shut all of the doors in the Mosque except the door of Abu Bakr which shall never be closed".
