أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ السَّتْرَ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْصُوبٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتً إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ أَلَا وَإِنِّي قَدْ نُهِيتُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ فَإِذَا رَكَعْتُمْ فَعَظِّمُوا الرَّبَّ وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew back the curtain while his head was bandaged during the illness in which he died, and he said: “O Allah, have I conveyed?” three times. “There remains none of the glad tidings of prophethood except the righteous dream, which a person sees or is seen for him. Verily, I have been forbidden from recitation in bowing and prostration. So when you bow, magnify the Lord, and when you prostrate, strive in supplication, for it is worthy of being answered for you.”
