40. Passing of the Prophet ﷺ
٤٠۔ كِتَابُ وَفَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
[Machine] Um Salama said, "By the One whom Um Salama swears by, Ali was the closest person to the Messenger of Allah. When the Messenger of Allah passed away in the morning, the Messenger of Allah sent for him. It seemed to me that he had been sent for due to a need. He kept asking, 'Has Ali come?' three times until Ali came before the sun rose. When he came, we knew that he had a need from him. We left the house and returned to the Messenger of Allah that day at Aisha's house. I was the last one to leave the house, then I sat closest to the door. Ali entered and he was the last person to make a promise with the Messenger of Allah. He leaned towards him and whispered to him."
قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَالَّذِي تَحْلِفُ بِهِ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ إِنْ كَانَ لَأَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ عَهْدًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيٌّ قَالَتْ لَمَّا كَانَ غَدَاةَ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَأَنْ أَرَى فِي حَاجَةٍ أَظُنُّهُ بَعَثَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ «جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ؟ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَجَاءَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاءَ عَرَفْنَا أَنَّ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةً فَخَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَكُنَّا عُدْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ فَكُنْتُ فِي آخِرِ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ أَدْنَاهُنَّ مِنَ الْبَابِ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيٌّ فَكَانَ آخِرَ النَّاسِ بِهِ عَهْدًا جَعَلَ يُسَارُّهُ وَيُنَاجِيهِ»
