In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:06
Darkness descended upon Medina.
0:19
The impact of the passing of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:23
upon the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them.
0:29
As the pure soul ascended,
0:33
Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, could find
0:36
no scent more fragrant than that of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
0:41
at the moment his soul was taken, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:46
She, may Allah be pleased with her, said:
0:49
"When his soul departed,
0:51
I never found a scent more fragrant than it."
0:55
This pure soul,
0:58
this fragrant scent,
1:01
was the soul of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
1:06
For he was indeed pure, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
1:12
Fatima lamented her father, saying:
1:15
"O my father!
1:17
He has answered the Lord who called him.
1:20
O my father!
1:22
The Garden of Firdaws is his abode.
1:25
O my father!
1:27
We announce his passing to Jibril."
1:30
O my father!
1:33
He has answered the Lord who called him.
1:36
O my father!
1:38
How close he is to his Lord!
1:41
O my father!
1:44
The Garden of Firdaws is his abode.
1:47
O my father!
1:49
We announce his passing to Jibril.
1:52
The lamentation spread among the Companions,
1:57
and they whispered about it.
1:59
They pushed the news away,
2:01
for they did not want to believe it.
2:04
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would not die,
2:08
and the news was a plot by the hypocrites.
2:11
They felt it necessary to pursue anyone who claimed the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had died.
2:17
Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said:
2:21
"While his head was resting on my shoulder one day,
2:26
it leaned toward my head.
2:30
I thought he wanted something from me,
2:34
but a cool drop of moisture emerged from his mouth,
2:38
and fell onto my collarbone.
2:41
My skin shivered at it,
2:44
and I thought he had fainted.
2:47
So I covered him with a garment."
2:50
Then Umar and al-Mughira Ibn Shu'ba arrived,
2:54
and they asked for permission to enter, which I granted.
2:58
I drew the curtain toward me.
3:01
Umar looked at him and said:
3:04
"What a severe faint!
3:06
How severe is the faint of the Messenger of Allah,
3:09
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."
3:12
Then he stood up.
3:14
When they neared the door,
3:17
al-Mughira said:
3:19
"O Umar, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has died."
3:26
Aisha did not want to believe that he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had died.
3:32
When his head, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, leaned toward hers,
3:38
it was after he had chosen his Lord,
3:41
after he had whispered,
3:43
"To the Highest Companion."
3:46
And after she, too, had murmured,
3:49
"Then he does not choose us."
3:52
Despite all those signs,
3:56
she still did not want to believe that he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had died.
4:04
Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, came to visit the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
4:11
and saw him as if dead.
4:13
All the signs pointed to that,
4:17
yet he pushed the thought away and imagined it was a faint.
4:22
"What a severe faint!
4:24
How severe is the faint of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."
4:30
Umar declared war on anyone who even whispered about it,
4:35
so how could he react to someone announcing it?
4:38
When al-Mughira Ibn Shu'ba, may Allah be pleased with him, said
4:43
that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had died,
4:48
Umar, agitated, confronted him like a storm:
4:52
"You lie!
4:53
You are a man stirred by fitna."
4:57
Then Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, went on,
5:00
even though people were whispering about the death of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
5:06
How quickly he said:
5:09
"By Allah, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has not died!
5:14
By Allah, nothing else occurred to me.
5:19
Allah will surely resurrect him,
5:22
and he will surely cut off the hands and feet of men."
5:26
Then he said:
5:28
"The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, will not die
5:33
until Allah, the Almighty, annihilates the hypocrites."
5:38
Umar interpreted the state of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
5:43
based on what happened to Musa, peace be upon him,
5:47
when he went to the appointed meeting with his Lord.
5:50
He said:
5:51
"I will not hear anyone say that Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has died.
5:59
Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has not died,
6:04
but his Lord has sent for him, just as He sent for Musa,
6:10
who was absent from his people for forty nights."
6:14
Everything Umar said,
6:18
"You are a man stirred by fitna,"
6:21
"He will surely cut off the hands and feet of men,"
6:26
"He will not die until Allah destroys the hypocrites,"
6:31
"His Lord sent for him as He sent for Musa,"
6:36
everything Umar said,
6:40
yet he would not speak the painful truth.
6:45
Until Abu Bakr arrived.
6:48
He came on his horse from his residence in al-Sunh,
6:53
dismounted, and entered the mosque.
6:56
He did not speak to the people,
6:58
but went in to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her.
7:03
He approached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
7:08
who was covered with a Yemeni garment.
7:11
He uncovered his face,
7:13
then leaned over him, kissed him, and wept.
7:18
Then he said: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you!
7:22
By Allah, Allah will not combine two deaths upon you.
7:28
As for the death that was decreed for you,
7:31
you have already experienced it."
7:33
Then he said:
7:35
“Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning.” (2:156)
7:40
"The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has died."
7:46
Then he came to his head and kissed it,
7:50
and kissed his forehead, then said:
7:54
"O Prophet!"
7:56
Then he raised his head,
7:58
and kissed it,
8:00
and kissed his forehead, then said:
8:04
"O chosen one!"
8:06
Then he raised his head and kissed it,
8:10
and kissed his forehead and said:
8:13
"O dear friend!"
8:15
"The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has died."
8:20
He went out to the mosque,
8:22
where Umar was speaking to the people.
8:25
He said:
8:26
"Sit down."
8:28
But Umar refused to sit.
8:31
He said:
8:32
"Sit down."
8:34
But he refused to sit.
8:36
So Abu Bakr recited the shahada,
8:38
and the people turned to him and left Umar.
8:42
He said:
8:44
"O people!
8:46
Whoever among you worshipped Muhammad,
8:49
then Muhammad has indeed died.
8:52
And whoever worshipped Allah,
8:55
then Allah is Ever-Living and does not die."
8:59
Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, said:
9:03
﴾Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah will reward the grateful.﴿
9:06
(The verse was recited).
9:09
(The verse was recited).
9:14
(The verse was recited).
9:17
(The verse was recited).
9:20
(The verse was recited).
9:23
(The verse was recited).
9:26
(The verse was recited).
9:29
(The verse was recited).
9:33
(The verse was recited).
9:35
“Muhammad is but a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) have passed away before him. Will it be that, when he dieth or is slain, ye will turn back on your heels? He who turneth back on his heels doth no hurt to Allah, and Allah will reward the thankful.” (3:144)
9:41
(The verse was recited).
9:48
Ibn Abbas said:
9:50
"By Allah, it was as if the people
9:53
did not know that Allah, the Almighty,
9:57
had revealed this verse
9:59
until Abu Bakr recited it."
10:02
All the people received it from him,
10:07
and you could not hear a single person but that they were reciting it.
10:11
Umar said:
10:13
"By Allah, as soon as I heard Abu Bakr recite it,
10:18
I was struck down until my legs could not support me,
10:23
and I collapsed to the ground when I heard him recite it.
10:28
I knew that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had died."
10:35
Aisha said:
10:37
"There was no sermon of theirs but that Allah brought benefit through it.
10:43
Umar had frightened the people, and there was hypocrisy among them,
10:49
but Allah turned them back through that.
10:52
Then Abu Bakr illuminated the guidance for the people,
10:56
and taught them the truth that was upon them."
10:59
They went out reciting:
11:02
“Muhammad is but a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) have passed away before him. Will it be that, when he dieth or is slain, ye will turn back on your heels? He who turneth back on his heels doth no hurt to Allah, and Allah will reward the thankful.” (3:144)
11:09
"So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels?"
11:15
“Muhammad is but a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) have passed away before him. Will it be that, when he dieth or is slain, ye will turn back on your heels? He who turneth back on his heels doth no hurt to Allah, and Allah will reward the thankful.” (3:144)
11:22
"And Allah will reward the grateful."
11:25
Umar finally believed that Muhammad had died.
11:32
As for Umm Salama, she did not yet believe.
11:36
She said: "I did not believe in the death of the Messenger of Allah until I heard the sound of the shovels."
11:46
And darkness descended upon Medina.
