was covered with a marked blanket. Abu Bakr uncovered his face. He knelt down and kissed him
and then started weeping and said, “My father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah’s Proph –
et! Allah will not combine two deaths on you. You have died the death which was written for you.”
Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn Abbas: Abu Bakr came out and ‘Umar , was addressing the people,
and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but ‘Umar refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit down but ‘Umar
again refused. Then Abu Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah and Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle) and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left ‘Umar. Abu
Bakr said, “Amma ba’du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead,
but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said: ‘Muhammad is no more
than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him ..(up to the) grateful.’ ”
(3.144) (The narrator added, “By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed
this verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it “)

Volume 2, Book 22, Number 303:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Once the sun eclipsed and Allah’s Apostle stood up for the prayer and recited a very long Sura and
when bowed for a long while and then raised his head and started reciting another Sura. Then he
bowed, and after finishing, he prostrated and did the same in the second Raka and then said, “These
(lunar and solar eclipses) are two of the signs of Allah and if you see them, pray till the eclipse is
over. No doubt, while standing at this place I saw everything promised to me by Allah and I saw
(Paradise) and I wanted to pluck a bunch (of grapes) therefrom, at the time when you saw me step –
ping forward. No doubt, I saw Hell with its different parts destroying each other when you saw me
retreating and in it I saw ‘Amr bin Luhai who started the tradition of freeing animals (set them free)
in the name of idols.”
