• Your father will suffer no more agony after this day

  عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال: لمَّا ثَقُل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم جَعَل يَتَغَشَّاه الكَرب، فقالت فاطمة رضي الله عنها : واكَربَ أَبَتَاه، فقال: «لَيسَ عَلَى أَبِيك كَرب بعد اليوم». فلما مات، قالت: يا أَبَتَاه، أجاب ربًّا دَعَاه! يا أبَتَاه، جَنَّة الفِردَوس مَأوَاه! يا أبتاه، إلى جبريل نَنعَاه! فلمَّا دُفِن قالت فاطمة رضي الله عنها : أَطَابَت أَنفُسُكُم أَن تَحثُوا عَلَى رسُولِ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم التُّراب؟!

  Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) suffered the agony of death, Fātimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O father, what a severe agony!" The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your father will suffer no more agony after this day." When he passed away, she said: "Father, Allah has called you back and you have responded to His call. Father, the Garden of Firdaus (the highest level of Paradise) is your abode. Father, we announce your death to Jibrīl." When he was buried, she said: "Did you feel comfortable to put dust over the Messenger of Allah!"

• Abdur-Rahmān ibn Abi Bakr visited the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as I had the Prophet's head reclined on my chest. ‘Abdur-Rahmān (may Allah be pleased with him) had a fresh tooth-stick and was brushing his teeth with. The Messenger kept his eye on it

  عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: ((دخل عبد الرحمن بن أبي بكر الصديق رضي الله عنهما على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأنا مُسْنِدَتُه إلى صدري، ومع عبد الرحمن سِواك رَطْب يَسْتَنُّ به، فأَبَدَّه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بَصَره، فَأَخَذْتُ السِّوَاك فَقَضَمتُه، فَطَيَّبتُه، ثُمَّ دَفَعتُهُ إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاسْتَنَّ به فما رأيتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم استَنَّ اسْتِنَانًا أَحسَنَ منه، فَما عَدَا أن فَرَغَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : رَفَع يَدَه -أو إصبعه-، ثم قال: في الرفيق الأعلى -ثلاثا- ثمَّ قَضَى، وكَانت تقول: مَاتَ بَينَ حَاقِنَتِي وَذَاقِنَتِي)).

  ‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: Abdur-Rahmān ibn Abi Bakr visited the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as I had the Prophet's head reclined on my chest. ‘Abdur-Rahmān (may Allah be pleased with him) had a fresh tooth-stick and was brushing his teeth with. The Messenger kept his eye on it, so I took the tooth-stick, gnawed it, freshened it, and then gave it to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He brushed his teeth with it and I had never seen the Messenger brushing his teeth more beautifully. After finishing brushing his teeth, he lifted his hand, or his finger, and said three times: "To the Highest Companion." Then, he passed away." ‘Ā'ishah would say: "He died while his head was resting between my chest and chin."

• The Prophet's wives were with him when Fātimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came walking. Her gait was exactly similar to the gait of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)

  عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: كُنَّ أزواجُ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عنده، فأقبلت فاطمة رضي الله عنها تمشي، ما تُخْطِئُ مِشْيَتُها من مِشْيَةِ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم شيئًا، فلما رآها رَحَّبَ بها، وقال: «مَرْحَبًا بابنتي»، ثم أجلسها عن يمينه أو عن شماله، ثم سَارَّهَا فبكت بُكاءً شديدًا، فلما رأى جَزَعَهَا، سَارَّهَا الثانية فضحكت، فقلتُ لها: خَصَّكِ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من بين نسائه بالسِّرَارِ، ثم أنت تَبْكِينَ! فلما قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سألتها: ما قال لك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟ قالت: ما كنت لأُفْشِيَ على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سِرَّهُ، فلما توفي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قلتُ: عَزَمْتُ عليك بما لي عليك من الحق، لما حَدَّثْتِنِي ما قال لك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟ فقالت: أما الآن فنعم، أما حين سَارَّنِي في المرة الأولى فأخبرني أن جبريل كان يُعارضه القرآن في كل سنة مرة أو مرتين، وأنه عارضه الآن مرتين، وإني لا أرى الأَجَلَ إلا قد اقترب، فاتقي الله واصبري، فإنه نِعْمَ السَّلَفُ أنا لك، فبكيت بكائي الذي رأيتِ، فلما رأى جَزَعِي سَارَّنِي الثانية، فقال: «يا فاطمة، أما تَرْضَينَ أن تكوني سيدة نساء المؤمنين، أو سيدة نساء هذه الأمة؟» فضحكتُ ضحكي الذي رأيتِ.

Her gait was exactly similar to the gait of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). When he saw her, he welcomed her saying: "Welcome, my daughter." He made her sit on his right side or on his left side. Then he said something secretly to her and she wept bitterly. When he found her in grief, he said to her something secretly for the second time and she laughed. I said to her: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) has singled you out with talking to you secretly, excluding all his wives, and you weep!" When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) went away, I said to her: "What did the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say to you?" Thereupon she said: "I am not going to disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)." When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) died, I said to her: "I adjure you by the right that I have upon you that you should tell me what the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to you." She said: "Yes, now I can do that. When he talked to me secretly for the first time he informed me that Jibrīl was in the habit of reciting the Qur'an along with him once or twice every year, but this year it had been twice and so he perceived that his death was quite near, so fear Allah and be patient, and he told me that he would be an excellent predecessor for me, and so I wept as you saw me. Then when he saw me in grief, he talked to me secretly for the second time and said: 'O Fātimah, would it please you to know that you will be the head of the believing women or the head of the women of this Ummah?' So I laughed and it was that laughter which you saw.'"

• I went to ‘Ā’ishah and asked her to describe to me the Messenger's illness. ‘Ā’ishah said: Yes. The Prophet became seriously ill and asked whether the people had prayed. We replied: No, O Messenger of Allah! They are waiting for you

The Prophet's messenger went to Abu Bakr and said: 'The Messenger orders you to lead the people in the prayer.' Abu Bakr was a softhearted man, so he asked ‘Umar to lead the prayer but ‘Umar replied: 'You are more rightful.' So Abu Bakr led the prayer in those days. When the Prophet felt a bit better, he came out for the Zhuhr prayer with the help of two persons one of whom was Al-‘Abbās, while Abu Bakr was leading the people in the prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him, he wanted to retreat but the Prophet beckoned him not to do so and asked them to make him sit beside Abu Bakr and they did so. Abu Bakr was following the Prophet (in the prayer) and the people were following Abu Bakr. The Prophet (prayed) sitting." ‘Ubaydullāh added: "I went to ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās and said: 'Shall I tell you what ‘Ā’ishah has told me about the fatal illness of the Prophet?' Ibn ‘Abbās said: 'Go ahead.' I told him her narration and he did not deny anything of it but asked whether ‘Ā’ishah told me the name of the second person (who helped the Prophet along with Al-‘Abbās. I said. 'No.' He said: 'He was ‘Ali (ibn Abi Tālib).'"
