40. Passing of the Prophet ﷺ
٤٠۔ كِتَابُ وَفَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ passed away, they said, "O Salim, go to the companion of the Prophet ﷺ and inform him." So, I went and found Abu Bakr standing in the mosque. He placed his hand on my shoulder and walked until he entered (the room). They made way for him until he reached the Prophet ﷺ and kissed him until he knew that he had died. Abu Bakr said, "Indeed, you are dead, and indeed, they are dead" [Al-Zumar 30]. They said, "O companion of the Prophet ﷺ , will the Prophet ﷺ be buried?" He said, "Yes." They said, "And where will he be buried?" He said, "In the place where Allah took his soul, for indeed, He only took his soul in a blessed place." They knew that what he said was true.
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالُوا يَا سَالِمُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَادْعُهُ فَخَرَجْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى دَخَلَ فَوَسَّعُوا لَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَبَانَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ مَاتَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ {إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ} [الزمر 30] قَالُوا يَا صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَلْ يُدْفَنُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالُوا وَأَيْنَ يُدْفَنُ؟ قَالَ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي قَبَضَ اللهُ فِيهِ رُوحَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْبِضْ رُوحَهُ إِلَّا فِي مَكَانٍ طَيِّبَةٍ قَالَ فَعَلِمَوا أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ
