Death of Prophet Mohammad

After returning from Hajja tulvidah, the Messenger of Allah used to spend most of his time in glorification and praise.

Holy Tomb of the Last Prophet

On 18 Safar 11 Hijra he visited Janna al-Baqiyyah, returned from there and fell ill, until he had the courage to walk. He went to the mosque and offered prayers himself. When the disease became more severe, he ordered Hazrat Abu Baker to offer prayers.

The condition of the disease was not the same, sometimes it would be severe and sometimes it would ease.

One day, when he got some rest, he took a bath and went to the mosque with the help of Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Abbas.

Hazrat Abu Bakr was leading the prayer when he heard you and started to move back, so you persuaded him with a gesture.

When the prayer was over, he gave a sermon in which he emphasized that the Jews and Christians were humiliated by God because when a religious leader dies, his grave is turned into a place of worship. You should not do such an act.I forbid you from it.

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Janaiz, Chapter Marz in Nabi).

Death 

12 Rabi-ul-Awal 11 Hijri, Monday, June 8, 632, the time of the morning, your soul was reached in Al-Quds. The dead body was buried in Hazrat Aisha's room.

Time of death

His age was 63 years and 4 days according to the lunar calendar.

Reaction of companions on death

The words that came out of the tongues of Hazrat Fatima (daughter of hazrat Mohammad) and Hazrat Ayesha(beloved wife of hazrat Mohammad) were very painful. When the companions heard the news of his death, they were shocked and worried.

Hazrat Ummr could not believe that the Messenger of Allah had died. Hazrat Abu Bakr went to the house and saw the body of Hazrat Muhammad.

Kissed the forehead, then said, "My parents sacrifice to you."

"Allah will not cause two deaths in you".

Then he went to mosque and announced the death of the Hazrat Mohammad and read the sermon and said,

"He who worshiped Muhammad among your people has died, and he who worshiped Allah will not die while he is still alive".

Allah Himself said that Muhammad is a Messenger. Messengers had passed before him. If he dies or becomes a martyr, then will you turn your back on him?

Whoever does this, then he will not be able to harm Allah.

Funeral prayer

Hazrat Ali bathed the Messenger of Allah, and he was buried in three clothes (Sharh Muslim Nawi).

Your body was placed in the place where you died

First of all, his family members performed his funeral prayer, then the followers and then the Ansar.

There was no imam at this funeral.

The room was narrow so 10 people used to go inside, when they would come out after praying then 10 more would go in.

This process continued. That's why the burial took place only 32 hours after the death.
