حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَمْرٍو، ذَكْوَانَ مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ كَانَتْ تَقُولُ إِنَّ مِنْ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ عَلَىَّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تُوُفِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي وَفِي يَوْمِي، وَبَيْنَ سَحْرِي وَنَحْرِي، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ رِيقِي وَرِيقِهِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَبِيَدِهِ السِّوَاكُ وَأَنَا مُسْنِدَةٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّ السِّوَاكَ فَقُلْتُ آخُذُهُ لَكَ فَأَشَارَ بِرَأْسِهِ أَنْ نَعَمْ، فَتَنَاوَلْتُهُ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ أُلَيِّنُهُ لَكَ فَأَشَارَ بِرَأْسِهِ أَنْ نَعَمْ، فَلَيَّنْتُهُ، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ رَكْوَةٌ ـ أَوْ عُلْبَةٌ يَشُكُّ عُمَرُ ـ فِيهَا مَاءٌ، فَجَعَلَ يُدْخِلُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ يَقُولُ " لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، إِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ سَكَرَاتٍ ". ثُمَّ نَصَبَ يَدَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ " فِي الرَّفِيقِ الأَعْلَى ". حَتَّى قُبِضَ وَمَالَتْ يَدُهُ.
It was one of the favors of Allah towards me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) expired in my house on the day of
my turn while he was leaning against my chest and Allah made my saliva mix with his saliva at his
death. `Abdur-Rahman entered upon me with a Siwak in his hand and I was supporting (the back of)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (against my chest ). I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) looking at it (i.e. Siwak) and I knew that he
loved the Siwak, so I said ( to him ), "Shall I take it for you ? " He nodded in agreement. So I took it
and it was too stiff for him to use, so I said, "Shall I soften it for you ?" He nodded his approval. So I
softened it and he cleaned his teeth with it. In front of him there was a jug or a tin, (The sub-narrator,
`Umar is in doubt as to which was right) containing water. He started dipping his hand in the water
and rubbing his face with it, he said, "None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Death has its
agonies." He then lifted his hands (towards the sky) and started saying, "With the highest companion,"
till he expired and his hand dropped down.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مِنْ مَسْكَنِهِ بِالسُّنْحِ حَتَّى نَزَلَ، فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمِ النَّاسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ، فَتَيَمَّمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ مُغَشًّى بِثَوْبِ حِبَرَةٍ، فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَبَكَى. ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، وَاللَّهِ لاَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مَوْتَتَيْنِ، أَمَّا الْمَوْتَةُ الَّتِي كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدْ مُتَّهَا. قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، خَرَجَ وَعُمَرُ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ اجْلِسْ يَا عُمَرُ، فَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ. فَأَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ وَتَرَكُوا عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَمَّا بَعْدُ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ مُحَمَّدًا صلى الله عليه وسلم فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا قَدْ مَاتَ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ حَىٌّ لاَ يَمُوتُ، قَالَ اللَّهُ {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {الشَّاكِرِينَ} وَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْزَلَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ حَتَّى تَلاَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْهُ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ فَمَا أَسْمَعُ بَشَرًا مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلاَّ يَتْلُوهَا. فَأَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَلاَهَا فَعَقِرْتُ حَتَّى مَا تُقِلُّنِي رِجْلاَىَ، وَحَتَّى أَهْوَيْتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ حِينَ سَمِعْتُهُ تَلاَهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ مَاتَ.
Narrated `Aisha:Abu Bakr came from his house at As-Sunh on a horse. He dismounted and entered the Mosque, but did not speak to the people till he entered upon `Aisha and went straight to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was covered with Hibra cloth (i.e. a kind of Yemenite cloth). He then uncovered the Prophet's face and bowed over him and kissed him and wept, saying, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. By Allah, Allah will never cause you to die twice. As for the death which was written for you, has come upon you." Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Abu Bakr went out while `Umar bin Al-Khattab was talking to the people. Abu Bakr said, "Sit down, O `Umar!" But `Umar refused to sit down. So the people came to Abu Bakr and left `Umar. Abu Bakr said, "To proceed, if anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad , then Muhammad is dead, but if (anyone of) you used to worship Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Allah said:--"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle, and indeed (many) apostles have passed away before him..(till the end of the Verse )......Allah will reward to those who are thankful." (3.144) By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this Verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and all the people received it from him, and I heard everybody reciting it (then). Narrated Az-Zuhri: Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab told me that `Umar said, "By Allah, when I heard Abu Bakr reciting it, my legs could not support me and I fell down at the very moment of hearing him reciting it, declaring that the Prophet (ﷺ) had died

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَعَلَ يَتَغَشَّاهُ، فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ وَاكَرْبَ أَبَاهُ. فَقَالَ لَهَا
" لَيْسَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ كَرْبٌ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ ". فَلَمَّا مَاتَ قَالَتْ يَا أَبَتَاهْ، أَجَابَ رَبًّا دَعَاهُ، يَا أَبَتَاهْ مَنْ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ، يَا أَبَتَاهْ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ نَنْعَاهْ. فَلَمَّا دُفِنَ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ يَا أَنَسُ، أَطَابَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ أَنْ تَحْثُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم التُّرَابَ
When the ailment of the Prophet (ﷺ) got aggravated, he became unconscious whereupon Fatima said, "Oh,
how distressed my father is!" He said, "Your father will have no more distress after today." When he
expired, she said, "O Father! Who has responded to the call of the Lord Who has invited him! O
Father, whose dwelling place is the Garden of Paradise (i.e. Al-Firdaus)! O Father! We convey this
news (of your death) to Gabriel." When he was buried, Fatima said, "O Anas! Do you feel pleased to
throw earth over Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?"

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ يُونُسُ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، فِي رِجَالٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ وَهْوَ صَحِيحٌ " إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْبَضْ نَبِيٌّ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ يُخَيَّرَ ". فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ بِهِ وَرَأْسُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ، فَأَشْخَصَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى سَقْفِ الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ الرَّفِيقَ الأَعْلَى ". فَقُلْتُ إِذًا لاَ يَخْتَارُنَا. وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا وَهْوَ صَحِيحٌ قَالَتْ فَكَانَتْ آخِرَ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا " اللَّهُمَّ الرَّفِيقَ الأَعْلَى ".
When the Prophet (ﷺ) was healthy, he used to say, "No soul of a prophet is captured till he is shown his
place in Paradise and then he is given the option." When death approached him while his head was on
my thigh, he became unconscious and then recovered his consciousness. He then looked at the ceiling
of the house and said, "O Allah! (with) the highest companions." I said (to myself), "Hence, he is not
going to choose us." Then I realized that what he had said was the application of the narration which
he used to mention to us when he was healthy. The last word he spoke was, "O Allah! (with) the
highest companion."

حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ، جَاءُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ وَامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ زَنَيَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ " كَيْفَ تَفْعَلُونَ بِمَنْ زَنَى مِنْكُمْ ". قَالُوا نُحَمِّمُهُمَا وَنَضْرِبُهُمَا. فَقَالَ " لاَ تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ الرَّجْمَ ". فَقَالُوا لاَ نَجِدُ فِيهَا شَيْئًا. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ كَذَبْتُمْ {فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ} فَوَضَعَ مِدْرَاسُهَا الَّذِي يُدَرِّسُهَا مِنْهُمْ كَفَّهُ عَلَى آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ، فَطَفِقَ يَقْرَأُ مَا دُونَ يَدِهِ وَمَا وَرَاءَهَا، وَلاَ يَقْرَأُ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ، فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ عَنْ آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ قَالُوا هِيَ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ. فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا فَرُجِمَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ حَيْثُ مَوْضِعُ الْجَنَائِزِ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَرَأَيْتُ صَاحِبَهَا يَجْنَأُ عَلَيْهَا يَقِيهَا الْحِجَارَةَ.
The Jews brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) a man and a woman from among them who had committed illegal
sexual intercourse. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to them, "How do you usually punish the one amongst you who
has committed illegal sexual intercourse?" They replied, "We blacken their faces with coal and beat
them," He said, "Don't you find the order of Ar-Rajm (i.e. stoning to death) in the Torah?" They
replied, "We do not find anything in it." `Abdullah bin Salam (after hearing this conversation) said to
them. "You have told a lie! Bring here the Torah and recite it if you are truthful." (So the Jews brought
the Torah). And the religious teacher who was teaching it to them, put his hand over the Verse of Ar-
Rajm and started reading what was written above and below the place hidden with his hand, but he did
not read the Verse of Ar-Rajm. `Abdullah bin Salam removed his (i.e. the teacher's) hand from the
Verse of Ar-Rajm and said, "What is this?" So when the Jews saw that Verse, they said, "This is the
Verse of Ar-Rajm." So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered the two adulterers to be stoned to death, and they were
stoned to death near the place where biers used to be placed near the Mosque. I saw her companion
(i.e. the adulterer) bowing over her so as to protect her from the stones.

The people of Medina were forced to prepare an army (to fight against the people of Sham during the
caliphate of `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair at Mecca), and I was enlisted in it; Then I met `Ikrima, the freed
slave of Ibn `Abbas, and informed him (about it), and he forbade me strongly to do so (i.e. to enlist in
that army), and then said, "Ibn `Abbas informed me that some Muslim people were with the pagans,
increasing the number of the pagans against Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). An arrow used to be shot which would
hit one of them (the Muslims in the company of the pagans) and kill him, or he would be struck and
killed (with a sword)." Then Allah revealed:--
"Verily! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (by staying
among the disbelievers)" (4.97) Abu AlAswad also narrated it.

When Abu Talib's death approached, the Prophet (ﷺ) went to him while Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi
Umaiya were present with him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O uncle, say: None has the right to be worshipped
except Allah, so that I may argue for your case with it before Allah." On that, Abu Jahl and `Abdullah
bin Abu Umaiya said, "O Abu Talib! Do you want to renounce `Abdul Muttalib's religion?" Then the
Prophet said, "I will keep on asking (Allah for) forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so."
Then there was revealed:--
'It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness
for pagans even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of
the Fire.' (9.113)

afflictions of life and death.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection Death will be brought forward in the shape of a
black and white ram. Then a call maker will call, 'O people of Paradise!' Thereupon they will stretch
their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is
Death.' By then all of them will have seen it. Then it will be announced again, 'O people of Hell !'

slaughtered and the caller will say, 'O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death O people of
Hell! Eternity for you and no death."' Then the Prophet, recited:--
'And warn them of the Day of distress when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state
of carelessness (i.e. the people of the world) and they do not believe.' (19.39)

I was a blacksmith and Al-Asi Bin Wail owed me a debt, so I went to him to demand it. He said to me.
"I will not pay you your debt till you disbelieve in Muhammad." I said, "I will not disbelieve in
Muhammad till you die and then be resurrected." He said, "Will I be resurrected after my death? If so,
I shall pay you (there) if I should find wealth and children." So there was revealed:--
'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Signs, and yet says: I shall certainly be given wealth and
children? Has he, known to the unseen or has he taken a covenant from (Allah) the Beneficent? Nay !
We shall record what he says, and we shall add and add to his punishment. And We shall inherit from
him all that he talks of, and he shall appear before Us alone.' (19.77-80)

Ibn `Abbas asked permission to visit Aisha before her death, and at that time she was in a state of
agony. She then said. "I am afraid that he will praise me too much." And then it was said to her, "He is
the cousin of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of the prominent Muslims." Then she said, "Allow him to
enter." (When he entered) he said, "How are you?" She replied, "I am Alright if I fear (Allah)." Ibn
`Abbas said, "Allah willing, you are Alright as you are the wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he did not
marry any virgin except you and proof of your innocence was revealed from the Heaven." Later on
Ibn Az-Zubair entered after him and `Aisha said to him, "Ibn `Abbas came to me and praised me
greatly, but I wish that I was a thing forgotten and out of sight."

When Abu Talib was on his death bed, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl and
`Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to
be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah." On that Abu Jahl
and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to Abu Talib, "Will you now leave the religion of `Abdul
Muttalib?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on
repeating their sentence before him till Abu Talib said as the last thing he said to them, "I am on the
religion of `Abdul Muttalib," and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.
On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am
forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed:--
'It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness
for pagans.' (9.113) And then Allah revealed especially about Abu Talib:--'Verily! You (O,
Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will.' (28.56)

A man came to Ibn `Abbas while Abu Huraira was sitting with him and said, "Give me your verdict
regarding a lady who delivered a baby forty days after the death of her husband." Ibn `Abbas said,
"This indicates the end of one of the two prescribed periods." I said "For those who are pregnant, their
prescribed period is until they deliver their burdens." Abu Huraira said, I agree with my cousin (Abu
Salama)." Then Ibn `Abbas sent his slave, Kuraib to Um Salama to ask her (regarding this matter).
She replied. "The husband of Subai'a al Aslamiya was killed while she was pregnant, and she
delivered a baby forty days after his death. Then her hand was asked in marriage and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
married her (to somebody). Abu As-Sanabil was one of those who asked for her hand in marriage".

`Umar said, "What do you say about it, O Ibn `Abbas?" I replied, "(This Surat) indicates the
termination of the life of Muhammad. Through it he was informed of the nearness of his death."

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ يُدْخِلُنِي مَعَ أَشْيَاخِ بَدْرٍ، فَكَأَنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ وَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ لِمَ تُدْخِلُ هَذَا مَعَنَا وَلَنَا أَبْنَاءٌ مِثْلُهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ عَلِمْتُمْ. فَدَعَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ـ فَأَدْخَلَهُ مَعَهُمْ ـ فَمَا رُئِيتُ أَنَّهُ دَعَانِي يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلاَّ لِيُرِيَهُمْ. قَالَ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ} فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أُمِرْنَا نَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ، إِذَا نُصِرْنَا وَفُتِحَ عَلَيْنَا. وَسَكَتَ بَعْضُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ لِي أَكَذَاكَ تَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ لاَ. قَالَ فَمَا تَقُولُ قُلْتُ هُوَ أَجَلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَعْلَمَهُ لَهُ، قَالَ {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ} وَذَلِكَ عَلاَمَةُ أَجَلِكَ {فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا}. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهَا إِلاَّ مَا تَقُولُ.
`Umar used to make me sit with the elderly men who had fought in the Battle of Badr. Some of them
felt it (did not like that) and said to `Umar "Why do you bring in this boy to sit with us while we have
sons like him?" `Umar replied, "Because of what you know of his position (i.e. his religious
knowledge.)" One day `Umar called me and made me sit in the gathering of those people; and I think
that he called me just to show them. (my religious knowledge). `Umar then asked them (in my
presence). "What do you say about the interpretation of the Statement of Allah:
'When comes Help of Allah (to you O, Muhammad against your enemies) and the conquest (of
Mecca).' (110.1) Some of them said, "We are ordered to praise Allah and ask for His forgiveness
when Allah's Help and the conquest (of Mecca) comes to us." Some others kept quiet and did not say
anything. On that, `Umar asked me, "Do you say the same, O Ibn `Abbas?" I replied, "No." He said,
'What do you say then?" I replied, "That is the sign of the death of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which Allah
informed him of. Allah said:--
'(O Muhammad) When comes the Help of Allah (to you against your enemies) and the conquest (of
Mecca) (which is the sign of your death). You should celebrate the praises of your Lord and ask for
His Forgiveness, and He is the One Who accepts the repentance and forgives.' (110.3) On that `Umar
said, "I do not know anything about it other than what you have said."
