[Machine] Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, asked: "O Messenger of Allah, do you know how long you will stay among us?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I see that they have harmed you, and their disturbance has caused you discomfort. If you were to take a tent to speak to them from, would it be better?" The Prophet responded, "I will continue to stay in their midst, enduring their abuse and disputes over my cloak until Allah relieves me from them." Abbas said, "I understood from this that his stay among us would not be for long."
الْعَبَّاسُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ لَأَعْلَمَنَّ مَا بَقَاءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِينَا؟ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرَاهُمْ قَدْ آذَوْكَ وَآذَاكَ غُبَارُهُمْ فَلَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ عَرِيشًا تُكَلِّمُهُمْ مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا أَزَالُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ يَطَؤُونَ عقِبِي وَيُنَازِعُونِي رِدَائِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ اللَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيحُنِي مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ بَقَاءَهُ فِينَا قَلِيلٌ
[Machine] It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall we not protect you (by standing in front of you)?" He replied, "No, let them step on my footsteps and I step on their necks until Allah relieves me from them."
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نَحْجُبُكَ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا دَعُوهُمْ يَطَؤُونَ عَقِبِي وَأَطَأُ أَعْقَابَهُمْ حَتَّى يُرِيحَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us during his illness in which he eventually passed away, while we were in the mosque. He was supporting his head with a cloth until he reached the pulpit and climbed it. He said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I am able to see the Pond (of Kawthar) from my position here." Then he said, "A servant was presented to me with the treasures and luxuries of this world, and he chose the Hereafter." No one paid attention to this statement except Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and tears started flowing from his eyes as he wept. He said, "We will ransom you with our fathers, mothers, ourselves, and our wealth, O Messenger of Allah." He then descended from the pulpit and did not climb on it again until his passing.
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ وَنَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَاصِبًا رَأْسَهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ حَتَّى أَهْوَى نَحْوَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ وَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَوْضِ مِنْ مَقَامِي هَذَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ عَبْدًا عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا فَاخْتَارَ الْآخِرَةَ» قَالَ فَلَمْ يَفْطِنْ لَهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ بَلْ نَفْدِيكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا وَأَنْفُسِنَا وَأَمْوَالِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ هَبَطَ فَمَا قَامَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ
[Machine] On the authority of Abu Muwayhibah, the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "I have been commanded to seek forgiveness for the people of Al-Baqi', so come with me." So I went with him in the middle of the night. When he stood near them, he said, "Peace be upon you, O people of the graves! May Allah honor you with what He honors those who have passed before you. If you knew what Allah has saved you from, the trials (and tribulations) to come would appear to you like the darkest part of the night. It (the trials) will follow one after another, each worse than the previous one.
Then he turned towards me and said, 'O Abu Muwayhibah, I have been given the keys to the treasures of the world, and the keys to eternal life in it, then Paradise. I was given the choice between that and meeting my Lord.' I said, 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, take the keys to the treasures of the world, and the keys to eternal life in it, then Paradise.' He said, 'No, by Allah, O Abu Muwayhibah, I have chosen to meet my Lord.' Then he sought forgiveness for the people of Al-Baqi' and left. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to feel the pain in which he died.
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي قَدْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ فَانْطَلِقْ مَعِي» فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَقَابِرِ لِيُهْنِكُمْ مَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا أَصْبَحَ فِيهِ النَّاسُ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا نَجَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ أَقْبَلَتِ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطْعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يَتْبَعُ آخِرُهَا أَوَّلَهَا الْآخِرَةُ أَشَرُّ مِنَ الْأُولَى
ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ إِنِّي قَدْ أُوتِيتُ بِمَفَاتِيحِ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْخُلْدِ فِيهَا ثُمَّ الْجَنَّةُ فَخُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَبَيْنَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّي» قُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي خُذْ مَفَاتِيحَ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْخُلْدَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ لَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي» ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَبُدِئَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِوَجَعِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ
[Machine] When {the help of Allah and the conquest comes} [Al-Nasr 1], the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Fatimah and said, "I have been informed about myself." So she cried, and he said, "Do not cry, as you will be the first of my family to join me." She smiled. Some of the Prophet's wives saw her and said, "O Fatimah, we saw you crying and then smiling. Can you tell us why?" She replied, "He informed me that he has been informed about himself, so I cried. He said to me, 'Do not cry, as you will be the first of my family to join me.' So I smiled."
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ} [النصر 1] دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَ «قَدْ نُعِيَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي» فَبَكَتْ فَقَالَ «لَا تَبْكِي فَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِي لِحَاقًا بِي» فَضَحِكَتْ فَرَآهَا بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ رَأَيْنَاكِ بَكَيْتِ ثُمَّ ضَحِكْتِ؟ قَالَتْ إِنَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ قَدْ نُعِيَتْ إِلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ لِي «لَا تَبْكِي فَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِي لَاحِقٌ بِي» فَضَحِكْتُ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ returned to me one day from a funeral in Al-Baqi' and found me suffering from a headache. He said, "I am suffering from a headache too, O Aisha." I asked him, "What bothers you if I die before you? I would have washed you, shrouded you, prayed for you, and buried you." He smiled and then began to experience the pain in which he died.
رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ جِنَازَةٍ مِنَ الْبَقِيعِ فَوَجَدَنِي وَأَنَا أَجِدُ صُدَاعًا وَأَنَا أَقُولُ وَا رَأْسَاهُ قَالَ «بَلْ أَنَا يَا عَائِشَةُ وَا رَأْسَاهُ» قَالَ «وَمَا ضَرَّكِ لَوْ مُتِّ قَبْلِي فَغَسَّلْتُكِ وَكَفَّنْتُكِ وَصَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْكِ وَدَفَنْتُكِ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَكَأَنِّي بِكَ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ لَرَجَعْتَ إِلَى بَيْتِي فَأَعْرَسْتَ فِيهِ بِبَعْضِ نِسَائِكَ قَالَتْ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ بُدِئَ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said during his illness, "Pour seven buckets of water from seven different wells on me, until I go out to the people and make a pledge to them." So, we sat him in a container for Hafsah, his wife, and poured water on him in abundance or sprinkled it on him from Mohammad bin Ishaq. He found relief and went out and climbed the pulpit, praised Allah and spoke highly of Him, sought forgiveness for the martyrs of Uhud, and prayed for them. Then he said, "As for what follows, the Ansar, who sheltered me and supported me, have some faults. Honor their noble people and overlook their wrongdoers, except for certain limits. Indeed, a servant of Allah was given the choice between this world and what lies with Allah, so he chose what lies with Allah." Abu Bakr cried and thought that the Prophet was referring to himself.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ «صُبُّوا عَلَيَّ سَبْعَ قِرَبٍ مِنْ سَبْعِ آبَارٍ شَتَّى حَتَّى أَخْرُجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَأَعْهَدَ إِلَيْهِمْ» قَالَ فَأَقْعَدْنَاهُ فِي مِخْضَبٍ لِحَفْصَةَ فَصَبَبْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ صَبًّا أَوْ شَنَنَّا عَلَيْهِ شَنًّا الشَّكُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ فَوَجَدَ رَاحَةً فَخَرَجَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهِ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لِلشُّهَدَاءِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أُحُدٍ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ عَيْبَتِي الَّتِي أَوَيْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَكْرِمُوا كَرِيمَهُمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ إِلَّا فِي حَدٍّ أَلَا إِنَّ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ قَدْ خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَاخْتَارَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ» فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was given permission to pray during his illness, so he said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Then he became unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he said, "Did I instruct Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer?" I said, "Indeed, Abu Bakr is a gentle man. If you had instructed Umar, he would have said, 'You are the eyewitnesses. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' There may be someone who wishes evil and Allah and the believers refuse."
أُوذِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالصَّلَاةِ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَقَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ» ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ «هَلْ أَمَرْتُنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ؟» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ رَقِيقٌ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ «أَنْتُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَرُبَّ قَائِلٍ مُتَمَنٍّ وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ»
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away on Monday. The rest of his day and night were confined, and the following day as well, until he was buried on Wednesday night. They said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but his soul ascended as Moses's soul ascended.' Umar stood up and said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but his soul ascended as Moses's soul ascended. By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ does not die until he cuts off the hands and tongues of nations.' Umar continued to speak until his saliva overflowed, more than what he usually promised. Al-Abbas stood up and said, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has indeed passed away, and he was a human being. And indeed, he may become weary just as humans become weary, O people! So bury your companion, for he is more honored by Allah than to be put to death twice – to kill one of you is death, and to kill him twice while he is more honored by Allah than that?' O people! Bury your companion. If he is as you say, then it is not too difficult for Allah to find him in the soil. Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by Allah, has not died until he has left the clear path. He made the lawful halal, the unlawful haram, married, divorced, fought, and made peace. He was like a shepherd for his sheep, leading them to the tops of the mountains, thrusting his stick at the beasts with it, and drawing water from the basin with his hand to water the sheep. There has never been from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among you, O people! So bury your companion.' Hammad said, 'The mother of Ayyub cried, and it was said to her, 'O mother of Ayyub! Are you crying over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' She said, 'By Allah, I do not cry over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I cry over the news of the sky being severed.' "
«تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ فَحُبِسَ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ وَلَيْلَتَهُ وَالْغَدَ حَتَّى دُفِنَ لَيْلَةَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ» وَقَالُوا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنْ عُرِجَ بِرُوحِهِ كَمَا عُرِجَ بِرُوحِ مُوسَى فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنْ عُرِجَ بِرُوحِهِ كَمَا عُرِجَ بِرُوحِ مُوسَى وَاللَّهِ لَا يَمُوتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِيَ أَقْوَامٍ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عُمَرُ يَتَكَلَّمُ حَتَّى أَزْبَدَ شِدْقَاهُ مِمَّا يُوعِدُ وَيَقُولُ فَقَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ وَإِنَّهُ لَبَشَرٌ وَإِنَّهُ يَأْسُنُ كَمَا يَأْسُنُ الْبَشَرُ أَيْ قَوْمِ فَادْفِنُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ أَنْ يُمِيتَهُ إِمَاتَتَيْنِ أَيُمِيتُ أَحَدَكُمْ إِمَاتَةً وَيُمِيتُهُ إِمَاتَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ أَيْ قَوْمِ فَادْفِنُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ فَإِنْ يَكُ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ فَلَيْسَ بِعَزِيزٍ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْحَثَ عَنْهُ التُّرَابَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاللَّهِ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى تَرَكَ السَّبِيلَ نَهْجًا وَاضِحًا فَأَحَلَّ الْحَلَالَ وَحَرَّمَ الْحَرَامَ وَنَكَحَ وَطَلَّقَ وَحَارَبَ وَسَالَمَ مَا كَانَ رَاعِي غَنَمٍ يَتَّبِعُ بِهَا صَاحِبُهَا رُءُوسَ الْجِبَالِ يَخْبِطُ عَلَيْهَا الْعِضَاةَ بِمِخْبَطِهِ وَيَمْدُرُ حَوْضَهَا بِيَدِهِ بِأَنْصَبَ وَلَا أَدْأَبَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ فِيكُمْ أَيْ قَوْمِ فَادْفِنُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ قَالَ وَجَعَلَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ تَبْكِي فَقِيلَ لَهَا يَا أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ تبْكِينَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَبْكِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ إِلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَلَكِنِّي أَبْكِي عَلَى خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ انْقَطَعَ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ خَنَقَتْ الْعَبْرَةُ أَيُّوبَ حِينَ بَلَغَ هَاهُنَا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If any of you is afflicted with a calamity, let him remember his calamity in comparison to mine, as it is one of the greatest calamities."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ فَلْيَذْكُرْ مُصِيبَتَهُ بِي فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْمَصَائِبِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you experiences a calamity, he should remember his own calamity with me because it is one of the greatest calamities."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ فَلْيَذْكُرْ مُصَابَهُ بِي فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْمَصَائِبِ»
[Machine] "I never heard Ibn Umar mentioning the Prophet except that he would cry."
سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَذْكُرُ النَّبِيَّ قَطُّ إِلَّا بَكَى»
[Machine] "To walk on the earth following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" and she said, "O my father, from his Lord, what is it that brings him closer, O my father, Paradise, the abode of the highest level, is his resting place, O my father, to Jibril we refer him, O my father, and his Lord answered the caller." Hammad cried when Thabit narrated, and Thabit cried when Anas narrated to him.
أَنْ تَحْثُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ التُّرَابَ؟ وَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَتَاهْ مِنْ رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهْ وَا أَبَتَاهْ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهْ وَا أَبَتَاهْ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ نَنْعَاهْ وَا أَبَتَاهْ أَجَابَ رَبًّا دَعَاهْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ حِينَ حَدَّثَ ثَابِتٌ بَكَى وقالَ ثَابِتٌ حِينَ حَدَّثَ بِهِ أَنَسٌ بَكَى
[Machine] Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ said, "I saw him (i.e., Prophet Muhammad) on the day he entered Medina, and I have never seen a day more beautiful and radiant than the day he entered Medina. And I witnessed him on the day of his death, and I have never seen a day more ugly and dark than the day he died."
عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «شَهِدْتُهُ يَوْمَ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ يَوْمًا قَطُّ كَانَ أَحْسَنَ وَلَا أَضْوَأَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَشَهِدْتُهُ يَوْمَ مَوْتِهِ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ يَوْمًا كَانَ أَقْبَحَ وَلَا أَظْلَمَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ مَاتَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»
[Machine] Abdullah ibn Salam, to the Prophet ﷺ: O Messenger of Allah, we will find you standing on the Day of Judgment before your Lord, while you are enveloped in a garment and your cheeks are blushing out of shyness from your Lord, due to what your Ummah (community) has innovated after you.
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَجِدُكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَائِمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ وَأَنْتَ مُحْمَارَّةٌ وَجْنَتَاكَ مُسْتَحْيٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ مِمَّا أَحْدَثَتْ أُمَّتُكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that when this Surah was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ{When the victory of Allah and the conquest comes, and you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes}[Al-Nasr 2], the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They will enter it in groups just as they entered it in groups."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا} [النصر 2] قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيَخْرُجُنَّ مِنْهُ أَفْوَاجًا كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَفْوَاجًا»
[Machine] Afterwards, indeed, Allah created the creation, not in need of their obedience, secure from their disobedience. And the people on that day are in different situations and opinions. The Arabs inhabit those residences, the people of Hajr, the people of Wabar, and the people of Dabar. They pass by them with the goodness of this world and the abundance of their livelihoods. They do not ask Allah as a group nor do they recite His dead book. Their dead are in the fire, and their lives are blind and impure, along with countless desired and forbidden things. So when Allah intended to spread His mercy upon them, He sent to them a messenger from among themselves, noble and caring, eager for the believers. Allah's blessings, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon him. This did not stop them from harming him in his body and labeling him with names. With him was a book from Allah, speaking, that is not established except by His command and is not eliminated except with His permission. So when he was commanded to be firm and was burdened with jihad, he accepted the command of Allah. His argument was cleared, his words were approved, his call was proclaimed, and he left this world pious and pure, following the path of his companion. Then Abu Bakr succeeded him, and he followed his example and followed his path. And the Arabs or those who did that from among them returned to their previous state, except for those who refused to accept them after the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. He would not accept from them except the one who was reconcilable. He drew out his swords from their scabbards, and set fire to their kindling. Then he defeated the people of truth, the people of falsehood, but he did not sever their limbs or shed their blood until he entered them into that from which they had separated and solidified them in that from which they had departed. He had previously received a portion of Allah's wealth and used it to quench his thirst. And an Ethiopian woman who breastfed a child for him. He felt a pang in his throat when he saw that before he passed away. He attributed it to his successor and left this world pious and pure, following the path of his two companions. Then, O Umar bin Al-Khattab, you are the son of this world. Its kings nurtured you and fed you. It grew you up and you sought its benefits. But when you became its ruler, you abandoned it and left it in ruins, except for what you provide from it. So praise be to Allah who showed us your deception and relieved our distress through you. So go forth and do not turn back, for surely nothing can exalt the truth, nor humiliate falsehood. I speak these words and seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for the believing men and believing women. Abu Ayyub said, "Umar bin Abdul Aziz would say about something, Ibn Al-Ahtam said to me, 'Go forth and do not turn back.'"
