(11) what was the 3 things Prophet (saw) recommended, four days before his
death?
Ans:
1. Jews, Christians and polytheists should be expelled out of Arabia.
2. He recommended that delegations
should be honoured and entertained, in a way similar to the one he used to do.
3. As for the third — the narrator
said that he had forgotten it. It could have been adherence to the Holy Book
and the Sunnah. It was likely to be the accomplishment and the
mobilization of Osamah’s army, or it could have been performance of prayers and
being attentive to slaves.
FOUR DAYS BEFORE HIS DEATH:
On
Thursday, four days before the death of the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon
him), he said to people — though he was suffering from a severe pain: “Come
here. I will cause you to write something so that you will never fall into
error.” Upon this ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab said: “The Prophet of Allâh (Peace be
upon him) is suffering from acute pain and you have the Qur’ân with you; the
Book of Allâh is sufficient unto you.” Others however wanted the writing to be
made. When Muhammad (Peace be upon him) heard them debating over it, he ordered
them to go away and leave him alone.
In
spite of the strain of disease and suffering from pain, the Prophet (Peace be
upon him) used to lead all the prayers till that Thursday — four days before he
died. On that day he led the sunset prayer and recited:
“By
the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allâh) sent forth one after another.”
[77:1]
In
the evening he grew so sick that he could not overcome the strain of disease or
go out to enter the Mosque. ‘Aishah said: The Prophet (Peace be upon him)
asked: “Have the people performed the prayer?” “No. They haven’t. They are
waiting for you.” “Put some water in the washing pot.” Said he.
We
did what he ordered. So he washed and wanted to stand up, but he fainted. When
he came round he asked again “Have the people prayed?” Then the same sequence
of events took place again and again for the second and the third tifrom the
time he washed to the time he fainted after his attempts to stand up. Therefore
he sent to Abu Bakr to lead the prayer himself. Abu Bakr then led the prayer during
those days. They were seventeen prayers in the lifetime of Muhammad(Peace be
upon him).
