[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for the martyrs of Uhud after eight years, like bidding farewell to the living and the dead. Then he ascended the pulpit and said, 'I am your predecessor and I will be a witness against you. Your meeting place is at the Basin, and I will be looking at it. I do not fear that you will associate partners or disbelieve, but rather, I fear that you will compete with each other in worldly matters.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ بَعْدَ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ كَالْمُوَدِّعِ لِلْأَحْيَاءِ وَالْأَمْوَاتِ ثُمَّ طَلَعَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ وَأَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدٌ وَإِنَّ مَوْعِدَكُمُ الْحَوْضُ وَإِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَسْتُ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُشْرِكُوا أَوْ قَالَ تَكْفُرُوا وَلَكِنِ الدُّنْيَا أَنْ تَنَافَسُوا فِيهَا

Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud eight years after (their death), as if bidding farewell to the living and the dead, then he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your predecessor before you, and I am a witness on you, and your promised place to meet me will be Al- Haud (i.e. the Tank) (on the Day of Resurrection), and I am (now) looking at it from this place of mine. I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah, but I am afraid that worldly life will tempt you and cause you to compete with each other for it." That was the last look which I cast on Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Messenger of Allah offered prayer over those who had fallen matyrs at Uhud. He then climbed the pulpit as if someone is saying good-bye to the living and the dead, and then said: I shall be there as your predecesor on the Cistern before you, and it is as wide as the distance between Aila and Juhfa (Aila is at the top of the gulf of 'Aqaba). I am not afraid that you would associate anything with Allah after me, but I am afraid that you may be (allured) by the world and (vie) with one another (in possessing material wealth) and begin killing one another, and you would be destroyed as were destroyed those who had gone before you. 'Uqba said that that was the last occasion that he saw Allah's Massenger on the pulpit.

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered funeral prayers for the martyrs of Uhud after eight years, as if bidding farewell to the living and the dead. Then he ascended the pulpit and said, "Indeed, I am going ahead of you, and I am a witness over you. Indeed, your meeting place is at the pond (in Paradise), and I am looking at it from this position of mine. Indeed, I am not afraid that you will associate others with Allah, but I am afraid that you will compete with each other for worldly benefits." Ubay ibn Ka'b said, "This was the last gaze I cast at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One of them directed towards his conversation companion and the other did not mention Al-Laith ibn Sa'd after eight years."
