Three days before the death of the Prophet ﷺ, his pain began to intensify 💔. At that time, he was in the house of Umm al-Mu’minin Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). He said, “Gather my wives for me.” When they had assembled, the Prophet ﷺ asked, “Do you permit me to be cared for during my illness in the house of Aisha?” They replied, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah, we grant you permission.”
When he tried to stand, he was unable to support himself. Ali ibn Abi Talib and al-Fadl ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) came forward and carried the Prophet ﷺ, supporting him as they moved him from the house of Maymunah to the house of Aisha. This was the first time the Companions saw him in such a weakened state.
The people began asking anxiously, “What has happened to the Messenger of Allah? What has happened to the Prophet of Allah?” They gathered in the mosque until it was filled to capacity. The pain and fever of the Prophet ﷺ increased severely.
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
“I have never seen anyone suffer from fever as severely as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I would take his blessed hand and wipe his face with it, for his hand was purer and more noble than mine.”
She then heard him say:
“There is no god but Allah. Indeed, death has its agonies.”
The concern and sorrow of the people in the mosque deepened. The Prophet ﷺ asked, “What is happening?” They replied, “O Messenger of Allah, the people are fearful for you.” He said, “Carry me to them.”
Water was poured over him seven times until he regained some strength. Then he was carried to the mosque and ascended the pulpit. This was his final sermon — his last public address.
He said:
“O people, it seems that you are afraid for me.”
They replied, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.”
He said:
“O people, my meeting with you will not be in this world. Our meeting will be at the Hawd (the Basin). By Allah, it is as if I can see it from where I stand now.”
Then he said:
“By Allah, I do not fear poverty for you. Rather, I fear that the world will be opened up to you, and you will compete for it as those before you competed for it, and it will destroy you as it destroyed them.”
“O people, Allah, Allah concerning the prayer. Allah, Allah concerning the prayer.”
“O people, fear Allah regarding women. Fear Allah regarding women. Treat women well.”
“O people, if a servant is given the choice between this world and what is with Allah, let him choose what is with Allah.”
At this point, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) burst into tears and said:
“May we ransom you with our fathers, our mothers, our children, our wealth, and ourselves, O Messenger of Allah!”
The people looked at Abu Bakr for interrupting the Prophet ﷺ, but the Prophet defended him and said:
“O people, leave Abu Bakr. There is none among you who has done me a favor except that I have repaid him — except Abu Bakr. I have not repaid him, and his reward is with Allah. Close all the doors leading to the mosque except the door of Abu Bakr.”
Then he prayed for the Ummah, saying:
“May Allah protect you. May Allah grant you firmness. May Allah grant you victory.”
He concluded with peace upon his nation and was then carried back to his home.
While he was there, Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr entered holding a siwak. The Prophet ﷺ looked at it but was too weak to ask for it. Aisha understood his glance. She took the siwak, softened it with her mouth, and gently placed it in the mouth of the Prophet ﷺ.
She later said:
“The last thing that entered the mouth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was my saliva mixed with the siwak. This was from Allah’s favor upon me.”
Then Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) entered. When she saw him, she began to cry, for whenever she used to enter before, he would stand and kiss her forehead. The Prophet ﷺ whispered something to her, and she cried even more. Then he whispered to her again, and she smiled.
Imam Darimi narrated that after the Prophet left the world, Madinah faced severe drought and famine. The people of the city came to Sayyidah 'A'ishah seeking help and advice so she instructed them to make an opening above the Beloved's grave ﷺ so there would be no barrier between him and the sky. As soon as they did this, it immediately began to rain until all the plants grew and the animals became extremely healthy, and the city rejoiced. Centuries later, a dome was built on the Masjid. The Ottomans placed a specific tile on the dome to commemorate this event.
During the time when Madinah was being attacked by Yazid, the adhan was not allowed to be said out aloud and the prayer was not allowed to be performed in the Masjid. Sa'id ibn Musayyib said, "I hid in the masjid and I would know the time for the prayer because I would hear the adhan from the resting place of the Messenger of Allah." If you went to Madinah with your heart in a state of drought, famine, loneliness and darkness, Imagine what one standing before Rasulallah ﷺ and giving salam to would do ﷺ. It would change your dunya and akhira.
I really believe if you hurt her while she is dealing with family problems, battling loneliness, struggling with mental health, going through pain, and still trying to be the best for you. You failed as a man!!!!🤌
In English they say:-
“lost interests in everything”
But in Urdu we can say:-
“Woh silsiley, woh shauk, woh nisbat nhi rahi,
Woh dil nhi raha, woh tabiyat nhi rahi”.
