“The last glance that I had of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was when he drew back the curtain on Monday, and I saw his face as if it was a page of the Mushaf (Qur’an), and the people were praying behind Abu Bakr. He (Abu Bakr) wanted to move, but he (the Prophet ﷺ) gestured to him to stand firm. Then he let the curtain fall, and he died at the end of that day.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1624)   

أحمد:١٢٠٧٢حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

آخِرُ نَظْرَةٍ نَظَرْتُهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ كَشَفَ السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ فَأَرَادَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَتَحَرَّكُوا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ اثْبُتُوا وَيَلْقَى السَّجْفَ وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي آخِرِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ ﷺ

"The last time I saw the Messenger of Allah, he drew back the curtain when the people were in rows behind Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. Abu Bakr wanted to step back, but he gestured to them to stay as they were, and let the curtain drop. He died at the end of that day, and that was a Monday."

آخِرُ نَظْرَةٍ نَظَرْتُهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَشَفَ السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ صُفُوفٌ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ امْكُثُوا وَأَلْقَى السِّجْفَ وَتُوُفِّيَ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الاِثْنَيْنِ

" عَنْ أنَسٍ قَالَ: آخِرُ نَظرَةٍ نَظَرْتُهَا إِلَى رسُول الله ﷺ يَوْمَ الاثْنَينِ، كَشَفَ السِّتارَةَ، والنَّاسُ خَلفَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ، فَنَظَرْتُ إلَى وَجْهِهِ كأنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ، فَأرَادَ النَّاسُ أنْ يتحركوا فَأشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اثْبُتُوا. وألقَى السَّجْفَ (*) وَتُوُفِّى آخِرَ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ".
