Abu Bakr came riding his horse from his dwelling place in As-Sunh. He got down from it, entered the Mosque and did not speak with anybody till he came to me and went direct to the Prophet, who was covered with a marked blanket. Abu Bakr uncovered his face. He knelt down and kissed him and then started weeping and said, ''My father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Prophet! Allah will not combine two deaths on you. You have died the death which was written for you.''
Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn Abbas : Abu Bakr came out and Umar , was addressing the people, and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but Umar refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit down but Umar again refused. Then Abu Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle) and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left Umar. Abu Bakr said, ''Amma ba'du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said: Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him ..(up to the) grateful.' '' (3.144) (The narrator added, ''By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it '')

On whom else shall Allah bestow His honor?' The Prophet said, No doubt, death came to him. By Allah, I too wish him good, but by Allah, I do not know what Allah will do with me though I am Al lah's Apostle. By Allah, I never attested the piety of anyone after that.''

Mustab bin Umar was martyred on the day of the Battle of Uhud and we could get nothing except his Burd to shroud him in. And when we covered his head his feet became bare and vice versa. So the Prophet ordered us to cover his head only and to put idhkhir (a kind of shrub) over his feet.

So he came out wearing it as his waist-sheet. A man praised it and said, ''Will you give it to me? How nice it is!'' The other people said, ''You have not done the right thing as the Prophet is in need of it and you have asked for it when you know that he never turns down anybody's request.'' The man replied, ''By Allah, I have not asked for it to wear it but to make it my shroud.'' Later it was his shroud.

One of the daughters of Uthman died at Mecca. We went to attend her funeral procession. Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas were also present. I sat in between them (or said, I sat beside one of them. Then a man came and sat beside me.) Abdullah bin Umar said to Amr bin Uthman, ''Will you not prohibit crying as Allah's Apostle has said, The dead person is tortured by the crying of his relatives.?'' Ibn Abbas said, ''Umar used to say so.'' Then he added narrating, ''I accompanied Umar on a journey from Mecca till we reached Al-Baida. There he saw some travelers in the shade of a Samura (A kind of forest tree). He said (to me), ''Go and see who those travelers are.'' So I went and saw that one of them was Suhaib. I told this to Umar who then asked me to call him. So I went back to Suhaib and said to him, ''Depart and follow the chief of the faithful believers.'' Later, when Umar was stabbed, Suhaib came in weeping and saying, ''O my brother, O my friend!'' (on this Umar said to him, ''O Suhaib! Are you weeping for me while the Prophet said, ''The dead person is punished by some of the weeping of his relatives?'' Ibn Abbas added, ''When Umar died I told all this to Aisha and she said, May Allah be merciful to Umar. By Allah, Allah's Apostle did not say that a believer is punished by the weeping of his relatives. But he said, Allah increases the punishment of a non-believer because of the weeping of his relatives.'' Aisha further added, ''The Quran is sufficient for you (to clear up this point) as Allah has stated: No burdened soul will bear another's burden.' '' (35.18). Ibn Abbas then said, ''Only Allah makes one laugh or cry.'' Ibn Umar did not say anything after that.

Should I give two-thirds of my property in charity?' He said, No.' I asked, Half?' He said, No.' then he added, One-third, and even one-third is much. You'd better leave your inheritors wealthy rather than leaving them poor, begging others. You will get a reward for whatever you spend for Allah's sake, even for what you put in your wife's mouth.' I said, O Allah's Apostle! Will I be left alone after my companions have gone?' He said, If you are left behind, whatever good deeds you will do will up-grade you and raise you high. And perhaps you will have a long life so that some people will be benefited by you while others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them renegades.' But Allah's Apostle felt sorry for poor Sad bin Khaula as he died in Mecca.''

When the Prophet got the news of the death of Ibn Haritha, Ja'far and Ibn Rawaha he sat down and looked sad and I was looking at him through the chink of the door. A man came and told him about the crying of the women of Ja'far. The Prophet ordered him to forbid them. The man went and came back saying that he had told them but they did not listen to him. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, ''Forbid them.'' So again he went and came back for the third time and said, ''O Allah's Apostle! By Allah, they did not listen to us at all.'' ('Aisha added): Allah's Apostle ordered him to go and put dust in their mouths. I said, (to that man) ''May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. humiliate you)! You could neither (persuade the women to) fulfill the order of Allah's Apostle nor did you relieve Allah's Apostle from fatigue. ''

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) refuted it and said, ''I believe in Allah and His Apostles.'' Then he said (to Ibn Saiyad), ''What do you think?'' Ibn Saiyad answered, ''True people and liars visit me.'' The Prophet said, ''You have been confused as to this matter.'' Then the Prophet said to him, ''I have kept something (in my mind) for you, (can you tell me that?)'' Ibn Saiyad said, ''It is Al-Dukh (the smoke).'' (2) The Prophet said, ''Let you be in ignominy. You cannot cross your limits.'' On that Umar, said, ''O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off.'' The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, ''If he is he (i.e. Dajjal), then you cannot over-power him, and if he is not, then there is no use of murdering him.''

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) wanted to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before Ibn Saiyad could see him, and the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saw him lying covered with a sheet and from where his murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw Allah's Apostle while he was hiding himself behind the trunks of the date-palm trees. She addressed Ibn Saiyad, ''O Saf ! (and this was the name of Ibn Saiyad) Here is Muhammad.'' And with that Ibn Saiyad got up. The Prophet said, ''Had this woman left him (Had she not disturbed him), then Ibn Saiyad would have revealed the reality of his case. |
