Allah’s Apostle offered four Rakat of Zuhr prayer at Medina and we were in his company, and two
Rakat of the Asr prayer at Dhul-Hulaifa and then passed the night there till it was dawn; then he
rode, and when he reached Al-Baida’, he praised and glorified Allah and said Takbir (i.e. Alhamdu-
lillah and Subhanallah(1) and Allahu-Akbar). Then he and the people along with him recited Talbiya
with the intention of performing Hajj and Umra. When we reached (Mecca) he ordered us to finish
the lhram (after performing the Umra) (only those who had no Hadi (animal for sacrifice) with them
were asked to do so) till the day of Tarwiya that is 8th Dhul-Hijja when they assumed Ihram for Hajj.
The Prophet sacrificed many camels (slaughtering them) with his own hands while standing. While
Allah’s Apostle was in Medina he sacrificed two horned rams black and white in color in the Name
of Allah.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik,:
A funeral procession passed and the people praised the deceased. The Prophet said, “It has been af –
firmed to him.” Then another funeral procession passed and the people spoke badly of the deceased.
The Prophet said, “It has been affirmed to him”. ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab asked (Allah’s Apostle
(p.b.u.h) ), “What has been affirmed?” He replied, “You praised this, so Paradise has been affirmed to
him; and you spoke badly of this, so Hell has been affirmed to him. You people are Allah’s witnesses
on earth.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When (Allah’s) slave is put in his grave and his companions return and he

say about this man (i.e. Muhammad)?’ The faithful Believer will say, ‘I testify that he is Allah’s slave

and His Apostle.’ Then they will say to him, ‘Look at your place in the Hell Fire; Allah has given you a
place in Paradise instead of it.’ So he will see both his places.” (Qatada said, “We were informed that
his grave would be made spacious.” Then Qatada went back to the narration of Anas who said;)
Whereas a hypocrite or a non-believer will be asked, “What did you use to say about this man.” He
will reply, “I do not know; but I used to say what the people used to say.” So they will say to him,
“Neither did you know nor did you take the guidance (by reciting the Quran).” Then he will be hit
with iron hammers once, that he will send such a cry as everything near to him will hear, except
Jinns and human beings. (See Hadith No. 422).

smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif’s house and at that time Ibrahim was in his last breaths,
and the eyes of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) started shedding tears. ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf said, “O Al –
lah’s Apostle, even you are weeping!” He said, “O Ibn ‘Auf, this is mercy.” Then he wept more and

our Lord, O Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your separation.”

When his wife saw that he was dead, she prepared him (washed and shrouded him) and placed him
somewhere in the house. When Abu Talha came, he asked, “How is the boy?” She said, “The child is
quiet and I hope he is in peace.” Abu Talha thought that she had spoken the truth. Abu Talha passed
the night and in the morning took a bath and when he intended to go out, she told him that his son
had died, Abu Talha offered the (morning) prayer with the Prophet and informed the Prophet of
what happened to them. Allah’s Apostle said, “May Allah bless you concerning your night. (That is,
