   ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “None of you should wish for death. If he is a doer of good, then if he lives he will increase in good, and that is better for him; and if he is a doer of evil, then perhaps he may seek to make amends.” Abu Abd al-Rahman said to us: “And this is more correct than the one before it.”

   ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Indeed, let none of you wish for death because of some harm that has befallen him. If he must wish for death, let him say: O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and take me when death is better for me.”

   ✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “When you attend a sick person, say good things, for the angels say amin to what you say.” When Abu Salamah died, I said: “O Messenger of Allah, what should I say?” He said: “Say: O Allah, forgive me and him, and grant me a goodly successor after him.” So Allah granted me Muhammad ﷺ as a successor after him.

    ✧ The last look I had of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was when he drew back the curtain while the people were in rows behind Abu Bakr.

    ✧ A man died in Madinah among those who were born there, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over him and said: 'Would that he had died somewhere other than his birthplace.' They said: 'And why is that, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'When a man dies away from his birthplace, a space is measured for him in Paradise from his birthplace to the end of his journey.' Abu Abd al-Rahman said to us: Huyayy b. Abd Allah is not one to be relied upon, and this hadith is not preserved in our view, and Allah knows best, because what is authentic from the Prophet ﷺ is: 'Whoever of you is able to die in Madinah, let him do so, for I will intercede for whoever dies there.'

    إِذَا حُضِرَ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَتَتْهُ مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ بِحَرِيرَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَيَقُولُونَ اخْرُجِي رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيًّا عَنْكِ إِلَى رَوْحِ اللهِ وَرَيْحَانٍ وَرَبٍّ غَيْرِ غَضْبَانَ فَتَخْرُجُ كَأَطْيَبِ رِيحِ مِسْكٍ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيُنَاوِلُهُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا حَتَّى يَأْتُوا بِهِ بَابَ يَعْنِي السَّمَاءِ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَطْيَبَ هَذِهِ الرِّيحَ الَّتِي جَاءَتْكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَيَأْتُونَ بِهِ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَهُمْ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ بِغَائِبِهِ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَسْأَلُونَهُ مَا فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ مَا فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي غَمِّ الدُّنْيَا فَإِذَا قَالَ أَمَا أَتَاكُمْ؟ قَالُوا ذُهِبَ بِهِ إِلَى أُمِّهِ الْهَاوِيَةِ وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا حُضِرَ أَتَتْهُ مَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ بِمِسْحٍ فَيَقُولُونَ اخْرُجِي سَاخِطَةً مَسْخُوطًا عَلَيْكِ إِلَى عَذَابِ اللهِ فَتَخْرُجُ كَأَنْتَنِ رِيحِ جِيفَةٍ حَتَّى يَأْتُونَ بِهِ بَابَ الْأَرْضِ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَنْتَنَ هَذِهِ الرِّيحَ حَتَّى يَأْتُوا بِهِ أَرْوَاحَ الْكُفَّارِ

    ✧ When the believer is attended, the angels of mercy come with white silk and say: 'Come out content, and well-pleased with you, to the mercy of Allah, and fragrance, and a Lord who is not angry.' So it comes out with a scent like the finest musk, so much so that they pass it from one to another until they bring it to the gate of the heaven. They say: 'How fragrant is this scent that has come to you from the earth!' Then they bring it to the souls of the believers, and they are more overjoyed at it than one of you at the return of an absent loved one. They ask him: 'What did so-and-so do? What did so-and-so do?' They say: 'Leave him, for he was in the distress of the world.' And when he says: 'Did he not come to you?' they say: 'He was taken to his mother, the pit.' And when the disbeliever is attended, the angels of punishment come with coarse sackcloth and say: 'Come out angry, and with anger upon you, to the punishment of Allah.' So it comes out with a stench like the foulest odor of a carcass, until they bring it to the gate of the earth, and they say: 'How foul is this odor!', until they bring it to the souls of the disbelievers.

She said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did say that, but it is not as you think.

He said: “He was true to Allah, and Allah was true to him.” Then the Prophet ﷺ shrouded him in the Prophet's own cloak, then he brought him forward and prayed over him. Among what appeared of his prayer for him was: “O Allah, this is Your servant who went out as an emigrant in Your path and was killed as a martyr, and I am a witness for him.” Abu Abd al-Rahman said: We do not know anyone who agreed with Ibn al-Mubarak on this. The correct version is from Ibn Abi Ammar, from Ibn Shaddad ibn al-Had. Ibn al-Mubarak is one of the imams, and perhaps the error is from someone other than him, and Allah knows best.

When he was pointed to one of them, he would place him in the grave and say, "I bear witness on behalf of them on the Day of Resurrection." And he ordered them to be buried with their blood and not to offer the funeral prayer for them or wash their bodies.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said, "Step back from me, Umar." When I persisted, he said, "I was given a choice and I chose. If I knew that by increasing beyond seventy [prayers] he would be forgiven, I would have increased." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over him, then departed. Only a little while passed before the two verses from Barā’ah were revealed: {And do not ever pray over any of them who dies, nor stand at his grave; indeed, they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died while they were defiantly disobedient} [al-Tawbah: 84].

     "Aishah said: 'Shall I not tell you about me and about the Prophet?' We said: 'Yes.' She said: 'When it was my night when he was with me' - meaning the Prophet -'He came back (from 'Isha' prayer), put his sandals by his feet and spread the edge of his Izar on his bed. He stayed until he thought that I had gone to sleep. Then he put his sandals on slowly, picked up his cloak slowly, then opened the door slowly and went out slowly. I covered my head, put on my vie and tightened my waist wrapper, then I followed his steps until he came to Al-Baqi'. He raised his hands three times, and stood there for a long time, then he left and I left. He hastened and I also hastened; he ran and I also ran. He came (to the house) and I also came, but I got there first and entered, and as I lay down he came in. He said: "Tell me, or the Subtle, the All-Aware will tell me.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you,' and I told him (the whole story). He said: 'So you were the black shape that I saw in front of me?' I said, 'Yes.' He gave me a nudge on the chest which I felt, then he said: 'Did you think that Allah and His Messenger would deal unjustly with you?' I said: 'Whatever the people conceal, Allah knows it.' He said: Jibril came to me when I saw you, but he did not enter upon me because you where not fully dressed. He called me but he concealed that from you, and I answered him, but I concealed that from you too. I thought that you had gone to sleep and I did not want to wake you up, and I was afraid that you would be frightened. He told me to go to Al-Baqi' and pray for forgiveness for them.' I said: 'What should I say, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Say" Peace be upon the inhabitants of this place among the believers and Muslims. May Allah have mercy upon those who have gone on ahead of us and those who come later on, and we will join you, if Allah wills."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2037)

     أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يُبْعَثُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلًا» فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَكَيْفَ بِالْعَوْرَاتِ؟ قَالَ {لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ} [عبس 37]

     "The people will be raised up on the Day of Resurrection barefoot, naked and uncircumcised." 'Aishah said: "What about their 'Awrahs?" he said: "Every man that day will have enough to make him careless of others". (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2083)

     عنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ تُحْشَرُونَ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً» قُلْتُ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ أَشَدُّ مِنْ أَنْ يُهِمَّهُمْ ذَلِكَ»

     ✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: “You will be gathered barefoot and naked.” I said: “Men and women, looking at one another?” He said: “The matter will be too severe for them to be concerned with that.”

     قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى ثَلَاثِ طَرَائِقَ رَاغِبِينَ رَاهِبِينَ اثْنَانِ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ وَثَلَاثَةٌ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ وَأَرْبَعَةٌ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ وَعَشَرَةٌ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ وَتَحْشُرُ بَقِيَّتَهُمُ النَّارُ تَقِيلُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَالُوا وَتَبِيتُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ بَاتُوا وَتُصْبِحُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ أَصْبَحُوا وَتُمْسِي مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ أَمْسَوْا

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “People will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection in three groups: hopeful and fearful; two on a camel, three on a camel, four on a camel, and ten on a camel. The fire will gather the rest of them; it will take a midday rest with them where they rest, spend the night with them where they spend the night, be with them in the morning where they wake, and be with them in the evening where they are.”

     حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ النَّاسَ يُحْشَرُونَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَفْوَاجٍ فَوْجُ رَاكِبِينَ طَاعِمِينَ كَاسِينَ وَفَوْجٌ تَسْحَبُهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى وجُوهِهِمْ وَتَحْشُرُهُمُ النَّارُ وَفَوْجٌ يَمْشُونَ وَيَسْعَوْنَ يُلْقِي اللهُ الْآفَةَ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ فَلَا يَبْقَى حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَتَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَدِيقَةُ الْعَظِيمَةُ يُعْطِيهَا بِذَاتِ الْقَتَبِ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهَا

     ✧ He narrated to me that people will be gathered in three companies: a company riding, well-fed, and clothed; a company dragged by the angels on their faces and gathered by the fire; and a company walking and running. Allah will send affliction upon riding animals until none remain, such that a man will have a great garden and offer it for a saddle, unable to obtain it.

     قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ مَحْشُورُونَ إِلَى اللهِ عُرَاةً» قَالَ أَبُو دَاودَ حُفَاةً غُرْلًا وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ وَوَهْبٌ عُرَاةً غُرْلًا {كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُعِيدُهُ} [الأنبياء 104] قَالَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُكْسَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِنَّهُ سَيُؤْتَى قَالَ أَبُو دَاودَ يُجَاءُ وَقَالَ وَهْبٌ وَوَكِيعٌ سَيُؤْتَى بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيُؤْخَذُ بِهِمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ فَأَقُولُ رَبِّ أَصْحَابِي فَيُقَالُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ فَأَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ {وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ} [المائدة 118] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَيُقَالُ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَمْ يَزَالُوا مُدْبِرِينَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاودَ مُرْتَدِّينَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ مُنْذُ فَارَقْتَهُمْ

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and gave an exhortation, saying: “O people, you will be gathered to Allah naked.” Abu Dawud said: “Barefoot and uncircumcised.” Waki' and Wahb said: “Naked, uncircumcised—‘As We began the first creation, We shall restore it’ [al-Anbiya' 104].” He said: “The first to be clothed on the Day of Resurrection will be Ibrahim. Then some men of my community will be brought—Abu Dawud said: ‘taken’—and taken to the left side. I will say: ‘My Lord, my companions.’ It will be said: ‘You do not know what they innovated after you.’ Then I will say as the righteous servant said: ‘And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are Witness over all things. If You punish them, they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, You are the Mighty, the Wise’ [al-Ma'idah 117–118] to the end of the verse. Then it will be said: ‘These people have not ceased turning back’—Abu Dawud said: ‘apostatizing on their heels’—since you parted from them.”
