Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
‘Aisha, (complaining of headache) said, “Oh, my head”! Allah’s Apostle said, “I wish that had
happened while I was still living, for then I would ask Allah’s Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah
for you.” Aisha said, “Wa thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to die; and If this should happen,
you would spend the last part of the day sleeping with one of your wives!” The Prophet said, “Nay, I
should say, ‘Oh my head!’ I felt like sending for Abu Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my suc –
cessor lest some people claimed something or some others wished something, but then I said (to my –
self), ‘Allah would not allow it to be otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise”.

Narrated Sad:
Allah’s Apostle came to visit me during my ailment which had been aggravated during Hajjat-al-
Wada’. I said to him, “You see how sick I am. I have much property but have no heir except my only
daughter May I give two thirds of my property in charity?”! He said, “No.” I said, “Half of it?” He said,
“No.” I said “One third?” He said, “One third is too much, for to leave your heirs rich is better than to
leave them poor, begging of others. Nothing you spend seeking Allah’s pleasure but you shall get a
reward for it, even for what you put in the mouth of your wife.”

When Allah’s Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among
whom was ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, “Come, let me write for you a statement after
which you will not go astray.” ‘Umar said, “The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur’an; so
the Book of Allah is enough for us.” The people present in the house differed and quarrelled. Some
said “Go near so that the Prophet may write for you a statement after which you will not go astray,”
while the others said as Umar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah’s
Apostle said, “Go away!” Narrated ‘Ubaidullah: Ibn ‘Abbas used to say, “It was very unfortunate that
Allah’s Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement
and noise.”

Nubuwwa” (The Seal of Prophethood) between his shoulders like a button of a tent.
