{2} Last Days in the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

 Outside and inside the mosque that Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and the companions built. It's been redone over the years with gold and more. Located in Madinah.

     The last days in the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ became very ill to the point where he ﷺ couldn't walk to his own home and when he went to the house of A'isha (RadiAllahu anha) then his body became so hot that he was put in a tub of cold water. The Prophet ﷺ then also tied his head after his temperature went down so that the pressure would subside his headache as he ﷺ was also afflicted with a severe headache. The Prophet ﷺ then sat infront of the companions (May Allah Be Pleased with them all) at the mosque and he ﷺ asked them if he owes them any money. One companion stood up and said that he ﷺ owes him 3 dirhams which wasn't much money. So The Prophet ﷺ had the man get the amount he needed. Then The Prophet ﷺ asked the companions if he's ﷺ ever hit any of them and then he ﷺ lifted up his shirt and told them to get their right. If he's ﷺ hit them then now is the time for them to go and hit him back and nobody got up. Then The Prophet ﷺ asked them if he's ever hurt their feelings and nobody responded and so he ﷺ left and went back home. He ﷺ was still suffering from the fever so much so that he ﷺ would go in and out of consciousness. One day the companions (May Allah Be Pleased with them all) were waiting for The Prophet ﷺ to lead the prayer and he was getting up and he fainted. When he ﷺ had woken up he asked A'isha (RadiAllahu anha) if they had prayed and she told him that they are waiting for him and when he tried to get up again he fainted. That's when he ﷺ appointed his best friend to lead the prayer.
Later that day he ﷺ was sitting again and he was giving the companions advice. He ﷺ was telling them not to oppress people that work for them, treat their women kindly and not to be negligent of their women, and that Allah has Given one of His servants the choice between that which is on this earth and that which is near to Allah and that His servant has chosen that which is near to Allah. Nobody knew who he ﷺ was speaking of except for his best friend who had then burst out into tears. The companion who narrates the hadith stated that none of them knew what he ﷺ was talking about but when they saw Abu Bakr (RadiAllahu anhu) crying they realized and they also began to cry. The Prophet ﷺ then returned back to his home and that was the last time he had left his home.
There's also a hadith narrated that they were praying and they saw The Prophet ﷺ look at them and he smiled and they almost broke their prayer but he motioned for them to continue and after some time he passed away.

Narrated 'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle said, "No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even though it were the prick he receives from a thorn." 


This is a video which speaks about the farewell that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ gave to a close companion (RadiAllahu anhu) who was leaving the country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi1a9cKR_SM

This is also a video about the hadith where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ wishes he could've seen those who will follow him after he has passed and they will believe without having seen him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWu4R6Gpy-Q

Both videos are from lectures.
