Prophet Muhammad’s Last Tears

Below is a passage about the last moment of the life of our beloved Prophet, Muhammad pbuh. It is very heart-touching and shows how merciful he was and how deep his love for his people.

Hope we can find wisdom in it.

***

Suddenly there was a person who said salaam. “May I come in?” he asked. But Fatimah did not allow him to enter the room. “I’m sorry, my father is ill,” said Fatimah, and turned back and closed the door.

She went back to Prophet Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wasalam and he opened his eyes and asked, “Who was he, my daughter?”

“I dont know my father. It’s the first time I’m seeing him,” Fatimah said gently.

“Know one thing…! He is the one who erases the temporary pleasure; he is who separates the companionship in the world. He is the Angel of Death,” said Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam.

Fatimah bore the bomb of her cry.

The death angel came towards Him, but Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam asked why Jibrail did not come along with him.

Then Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam looked at his daughter with a trembled look, as if he wanted to reminisce about every part of his daugther’s face.

Then, Jibrail was called. Jibrail was ready int he sky to welcome the soul of Rasulullah and the leader of the Earth.

“O Jibrail, explain to me about my rights in front of Allah? (subhana watalah), Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam asked with a very weak voice.

“The doors of the sky have opened; the angels are waiting for your soul. All Jannats are open widely waiting for you” Jibrail said.

But, in fact, all that did not make Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam relieved.

His eyes were still full of worry.

“You are not happy to hear this news?” asked Jibrail.

Tell me about the destiny of My People in the future?” said Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam

“Don’t worry, O’ Rasulullah. I heard Allah (subhana watala) told me: “I make Jannat haram for everyone, except the people of Muhammad,” Jibrail said.

The time for Malaekat Izrail to do his work became closer and closer.

Slowly, Rasulullah’s sallalahu alaihi wasalam soul was pulled.

It seems that the body of Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam was full of sweat; the nerves of his neck became tight.

“Jibrail, how painful this is!” Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam slowly uttered with a groan.

Fatimah closed her eyes, Ali sat beside her bow deeply and Jibrail turned his face back.

“Am I repugnant to you that you turn your face back O Jibrail?” Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam asked.

“Who is the one who could see Habibullah in His sakartul maut,” Jibrail said.

“Not for a while,” then Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam uttered a groan because of unbearable pain.

“O Allah (subhana watala) how great is this sakartul maut. Give me all these pains, but DON’T to MY PEOPLE.”

The body of Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam became cold, his feet and chest did not move anymore.

With tears in eyes, His lips vibrated as if he wanted to say something.

Ali took his ear close to Rasulullah sallalahu alaihi wasalam, “Uushiikumbis salahti, wa maa malakat aimanuku” “Take care of the salat and take care of the weak people among you.”

Outside the room, there were cries, each one shouting, Sahaba holding each other. Fatimah closed her face with her hands.

Again, Ali took his ear close to Rasulullah’s sallalahu alaihi wasalam and with this mouth which became bluish, and tears in his eyes, he uttered: “Ummatii Ummatii, Ummatii” “ My People, My People, My People

  • Narrated Aisha:

    `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr entered upon the Prophet () while I was supporting the Prophet () on my chest. `AbdurRahman had a fresh Siwak then and he was cleaning his teeth with it. Allah's Messenger () looked at it, so I took the Siwak, cut it (chewed it with my teeth), shook it and made it soft (with water), and then gave it to the Prophet () who cleaned his teeth with it. I had never seen Allah's Messenger () cleaning his teeth in a better way. After finishing the brushing of his teeth, he lifted his hand or his finger and said thrice, "O Allah! Let me be with the highest companions," and then died. `Aisha used to say, "He died while his head was resting between my chest and chin."

    حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، عَنْ صَخْرِ بْنِ جُوَيْرِيَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، دَخَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا مُسْنِدَتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي، وَمَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سِوَاكٌ رَطْبٌ يَسْتَنُّ بِهِ، فَأَبَدَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَصَرَهُ، فَأَخَذْتُ السِّوَاكَ فَقَصَمْتُهُ وَنَفَضْتُهُ وَطَيَّبْتُهُ، ثُمَّ دَفَعْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاسْتَنَّ بِهِ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم اسْتَنَّ اسْتِنَانًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ، فَمَا عَدَا أَنْ فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَفَعَ يَدَهُ أَوْ إِصْبَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فِي الرَّفِيقِ الأَعْلَى ‏"‏‏.‏ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ قَضَى، وَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ مَاتَ بَيْنَ حَاقِنَتِي وَذَاقِنَتِي‏.‏

  • Bro Habib, it will be more beautiful if narrations about our Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) has its references and sources. This is because stories about Muhammad (pbuh) are not just tall tales. It is comprised of well documented academic documents that has its reference and impact factor, just like our modern conventional academic journals. Further than references and impact factors, it has the sanads, which is the chains of narrators. For instance, the narration about the death of Muhammad (pbuh) is in Sahih Al-Bukhary no. 4463 in the book of Al-Maghaazi(64) . And this hadith (Al Bukhary ) is considered as a sahih hadith that has the highest impact factor with strong chains of narrators. A sahih hadith is distinguished between Hasan, Hasan sahih, daif (weak) and Maudu'(fake Hadith)

  • Subhanallah...
    I hope after reading the story of the prophet Muhammad could increase our faith and piety to Allah SWT

  • Allahumma Salle Ala Muhamadin Wa Ala Aaale Muhammadin Kama Salaita Alaa Ibrahima Wa Ala Aaale Ibrahima Innaka Hameedum Majeed

    Allahumma Baarik Ala Muhamadin Wa Ala Aaale Muhammadin Kama Barakta Alaa Ibrahima Wa Ala Aaale Ibrahima Fil Aalameena Innaka Hameedum Majeed

    I love Muhammadh Sallalaah Alaiki Wasallam

  • Ya Allah, Ya Rabbi, jadikanlah kami sebagai umat Nabi Muhammad,kekasihMu... semoga sholawat salam dan keberkahan pada Sayyidina wa Maulana wa Habibana Muhammad SAW

  • Praise be to Allah. And may His peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his family, his Companions, and all those who follow his way until the Day of Judgment.
