In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:06
And the city of Medina grew dark.
0:19
These were the final days in the house of ‘A’ishah.
0:23
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would return to his home.
0:30
He would speak to ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
0:34
He would tell her that he was feeling the effects of the poison from the Jewish woman at Khaybar.
0:39
‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, relates:
0:44
The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to say during the illness in which he passed away:
0:51
"O ‘A’ishah,
0:53
I still feel the pain of the food I ate at Khaybar.
0:58
And now, I feel as though my aorta is being severed by that poison."
1:05
Ibn Hajar said:
1:07
The Prophet, peace be upon him, lived for three years after that incident,
1:13
until the illness in which his soul was taken.
1:17
He would repeatedly say:
1:19
"I still feel the pain of the meal I ate at Khaybar, time and again,
1:26
and now is the time I feel my aorta being severed."
1:30
It is a vein in the back.
1:33
Thus, the Prophet, peace be upon him, died as a martyr,
1:37
just as Ibn Mas‘ud swore to be the case.
1:41
Then Umm Mubashir entered and said:
1:46
"May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah,
1:49
what do you suspect is the cause of your condition?"
1:52
She added, "I suspect nothing but the food that was eaten with you at Khaybar."
1:58
Her son had died before the Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:03
and he said:
2:05
"And I suspect nothing else;
2:08
this is the time I feel my aorta being severed."
2:11
The pain intensified for the Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:17
as ‘A’ishah and Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, narrate.
2:22
He said:
2:24
When the final illness descended upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:29
he began to cast a garment of his over his face.
2:33
Whenever he felt distressed, he would uncover his face.
2:37
People came in succession to visit the Prophet, peace be upon him.
2:43
Then entered the beloved daughter,
2:46
Fatimah al-Zahra,
2:48
the person most deeply afflicted by the loss of the beloved Prophet, peace be upon him.
2:55
‘A’ishah says:
2:58
The Prophet, peace be upon him, called for Fatimah, peace be upon her,
3:03
during the illness in which he passed away.
3:07
He whispered something to her, and she wept.
3:11
Then he called her again,
3:13
and whispered something to her, and she laughed.
3:17
We asked her about that,
3:19
and she said:
3:21
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, whispered to me
3:25
that he would pass away during this illness of his,
3:29
so I wept.
3:31
Then he whispered to me again,
3:33
and informed me that I would be the first of his family to follow him,
3:37
so I laughed."
3:39
Fatimah laughed when she realized she would be the first of his family to join him.
3:46
She laughed to teach us
3:48
that death is better than a life without the companionship of the Message and the Messenger.
3:54
Anas Ibn Malik describes the final days of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
4:01
as he went out for prayer.
4:03
He says:
4:06
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, went out during the illness in which he died,
4:12
leaning on Usamah,
4:15
wearing a cotton garment,
4:18
and he led the people in prayer.
4:20
And the city of Medina grew dark.
