DEATH AND RESTRAINING ONE'S
DESIRE FOR IT
Allah, the Exalted says:
“Every soul shall taste death.
You shall be paid your wages in full
on the Day of Resurrection.
Whoever is removed from Hell
and is admitted to Paradise shall prosper,
for the worldly life
is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion. 3:185 Koran
“No soul knows what he will earn tomorrow;
and no soul knows in what land it will die.
Surely, Allah is the Knower, the Aware.” 31:34 Koran
“..... when their term is come,
they shall neither delay it
by a single hour,
nor can they hasten it.” 16:61 Koran
“Believers, do not let either your possessions
or your children divert you
from the Remembrance of Allah.
Those who do that shall be the losers.
So spend of that with which We have provided you
before death comes upon any of you
and he then says:

'O my Lord, if only You would defer me to a near term,
so that I could give in charity
and be among the good-doers.'” 63:9-11 Koran
“Until, when death comes to one of them he says:
'My Lord, let me go back
that I should do righteousness in that I forsook.'
No! It is only a word which he will speak.
Behind them there shall stand a barrier
till the Day that they shall be resurrected.
And when the Horn is blown,
on that Day the ties of kindred shall be no more,
nor will they ask each other.
Those whose scales are heavy shall prosper,
but those whose scales are light shall forfeit their souls
and live in Gehenna (Hell) for ever.
The fire lashes their faces
and therein are shriveled lips.
(We shall say), 'Were My verses not recited to you,
and did you not belie them?'
'Lord,' they will reply,' adversity prevailed over us
and we were erring.
Our Lord bring us out of it.
If we return (to sin), then we shall indeed be harmdoers.'
He will say,
'Slink there in it and do not speak to Me.
Among My worshipers there were a party who said,
‘Lord, we believed.
Forgive us and have mercy on us:
You are the Best of the merciful.’
But you took them for laughing-stock, mocking at them,
until they caused you to forget My remembrance.
Today I shall recompense them for their patience,
for it is they who have won.
And He will ask,
'How many years did you live on earth?"
They will reply, 'A day, or part of a day;
ask those who have kept count.'
He will say, 'You have tarried a little, did you know?
Did you think that We had created you only for play,
and that you would never be returned to Us?'” 23:99-115 Koran
“Is it not time that the hearts of the believers
be humbled to the Remembrance of Allah
and the truth which He has sent down?
They should not be like those
who were given the Book before this,
whose time became very long
so that their hearts became hardened?
Many of them were impious.” 57:16 Koran

by his shoulders and said, ‘Be in the world as if you are a stranger

|H 581
“The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, drew a rectangular
shape and in its middle he drew a line running through it lengthwise
so that it protruded. He drew some smaller vertical lines in the

this rectangle is his life span and that which protrudes is his hope
and these small lines are trials, if this escapes him, that one tears
him, and if this misses him that one tears him.’"

PRAYER ON THE PROPHET, praise and peace be upon him
|H 584

shall I devote to you?’ He replied, ‘As much as you would wish.’
Ubayy asked, ‘A quarter?’ He answered, ‘If you wish; but it would be
better for you if you increased it.’ Ubayy asked, ‘Half?’ He replied,
‘Whatever you wish, but it would be better for you if you increased
it.’ Ubayy asked again, ‘Two-thirds?’ He replied, ‘As you wish; but it
would be better for you if you increased it.’ Ubayy said, ‘Shall I
devote all my supplications to blessings upon you?’ He said, ‘In that
case it would take care of all your worries and your sins will be
forgiven.’”
Tirmidhi with a chain up to Ubayy the son of Ka'ab who related this hadith.
THE UNDESIRABILITY OF
SUPPLICATION FOR DEATH
DO NOT WISH FOR DEATH
|H 589
“None of you should wish for death, because if he is virtuous it is
possible that he might add to his good works, and if he is an evil
doer he might be able to remedy his past. None of you should wish
or pray for it (death) before it comes to him. When he dies his deeds
are terminated. The life of a believer does not increase except in
good (for them).”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, said this.
DO NOT WISH FOR DEATH ON ACCOUNT OF MISFORTUNE
|H 590
“None of you should wish for death because of a misfortune that
comes to him. When anyone is badly afflicted, he should say, 'Allah
let me live as long as my life is better for me, and cause me to die
when death is better for me.'”
5

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related that the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, said this.
VISITING THE SICK
|H 591
“Kais went to visit Khubaib the son of Arat who was ill and found that
he had been subjected to seven incisions of blood-letting. He said,
‘Our Companions who passed on before lost nothing in regard of the
world and we have found that the only place for it is in the earth.
Had the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, not forbidden us to
supplicate for death, I would have supplicated for it.’
Kais visited him again and found him repairing a wall. He said,
‘There is a reward for a Muslim in respect of everything on which he
spends money except when he commits it to clay.’”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Kais, the son of Hazum who related this.
PREPARATION FOR DEATH
|H 960
“We were present with Amr son of Al 'As when he in the throes of
death. He wept for a long time and turned his face to the wall. His
son tried to comfort him, saying, ‘Father, didn't the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, give you good news? Didn't he give you
good news?’ Then he turned his face towards us and said, ‘Our best
preparation is the witnessing that there is no god except Allah and
Muhammad is His Messenger, praise and peace be upon him.
I have passed through three stages. I recall when no one was a
bitterer enemy of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, than I,
and nothing would have been dearer to me than if I had the power to
kill him. Had I died in that condition, I would have been one of the
inhabitants of the Fire.
When Allah placed Islam in my heart, I went to the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, and said, 'Give me your right hand, so that
I might swear allegiance to you.' He stretched out his right hand, but
I withdrew my hand. He asked, 'What is the matter, Amr?' I replied
that I had a condition to make. He asked me what the condition was,
so I told him the condition was that all my sins would be forgiven. He
said, ‘Don't you know that (embracing) Islam wipes out all that has
gone before it, that migration wipes out all that has gone before it,
and that the Pilgrimage wipes out all that has gone before it?'
Thereafter, no one was more beloved to me than the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, nor was anyone more highly
respected than him in my eyes. His glory was such that I could not
look at his face for any length of time, so that if I were asked to
describe him I would be unable because I never looked at him long
enough.
6

Had I died in that condition I could have hoped to be one of the
dwellers of Paradise. After that we were made responsible for many
things, and now I do not know what my condition is in that respect.
When I die do not let any mourner or fire attend my bier. When you
bury me throw the earth gently over me and stay near my grave for
as long as it takes to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat, so
that I should draw comfort from your presence and consider what
answer I shall make to the angels.’"
Muslim with a chain up to ibn Shamasah who related this.
DIE HOPING FOR THE BEST FROM ALLAH
|H 442
“Three days before the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,
passed away he told his Companions, ‘Let none of you die except
hoping for the best from Allah, the Mighty, the Glorified.’”
Muslim with a chain up to Jabir, the son of Abdullah who related that he heard the
Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say this.

praise and peace be upon him, said:
WHAT IS TO BE SAID WHEN A
PERSON DIES
WHEN THE ANGELS SAY AMEEN

“When you visit someone who is sick or one who has just died say
only that which is good, because the angels say ‘Ameen’ to
whatever you say.
She, Lady Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her, added,
'When Abu Salamah died I went to the Prophet, praise and peace
be upon him, and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, Abu Salamah has passed away.’ He (Messenger of Allah,
7

praise and peace be upon him) directed me, ‘Supplicate, O Allah,
forgive me and him and give to me in return a good replacement.’ I
supplicated as he had directed, and Allah gave to me one better
than him” (who was Prophet Muhammad).
Muslim with a chain up to Lady Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
be pleased with her, the Mother of Believers, who related the Messenger of Allah,
SUPPLICATION IN TIMES OF DISTRESS
|H 934
“I, (Lady Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, Mother of
Believers, may Allah be pleased with her) heard the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, say, ‘When a person is afflicted by
misfortune and supplicates, 'To Allah we belong and to Him shall we
return, O Allah compensate me in my misfortune and give to me
better than that which I have lost,' Allah compensates him for his
misfortune and gives to him better than he has lost.
(Lady Umm Salamah continued) ‘When Abu Salamah died, I
supplicated as the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, directed
and indeed Allah gave me better than he whom I had lost, that is to
say, I was asked for in marriage by the Prophet, praise and peace
be upon him."

of Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, who related this.
CLOSING THE EYES OF THE
DECEASED AND PRAYING FOR HIM OR
HER
SUPPLICATION UPON THE DEATH OF A MUSLIM
|H 932
“The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, came to Abu Salamah
after his eyes had become set. He closed them and said, ‘When the
soul of a person is taken away, the vision of the eye also follows it.’
Thereupon the members of Abu Salamah's family started to weep.
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, admonished them
saying, ‘Pray for only that which is good for yourselves, for the
angels say 'Ameen' to your supplications.’
Then he supplicated, ‘O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah and exalt his
rank among those who are guided, and be the Guardian of those he
has left behind. O Lord of the worlds, forgive him and all of us, and
make his grave spacious and illumine it for him.’"
Muslim with a chain up to Lady Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
be pleased with her, Mother of Believers, related this.

and said to him: ‘Treat her kindly, and after she has delivered the
child, bring her back.’
This he did, and the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, asked
for the punishment to be carried out. Her clothes were tied securely
around her and she was stoned. After, the Prophet, praise and
peace be upon him, had led the funeral prayer over her, Omar
Farooq remarked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon
him, she was guilty of adultery yet you are led her funeral prayer.’
‘Yes,’ he answered, ‘she repented in such away that if her
repentance were to be spread over seventy people of Medina it
would have sufficed them all. There cannot be a better or higher
degree of repentance than this; she chose to speak the truth at the
cost of her life for the sake of winning the pleasure of Allah.’”

Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said, ‘It has become
incumbent.’ Omar son of Khattab inquired from the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, ‘What has become incumbent?’ He

for him. As for the other of whom you spoke ill the Fire has become
incumbent for him. You are the witnesses of Allah upon the earth.’"

Khattab when a funeral passed and those present praised the
goodness of the deceased. Upon this Omar said, ‘It has become
incumbent.’ Then another funeral passed and those present praised
the goodness of the deceased. Again Omar said, ‘It has become
incumbent.’ Then a third funeral passed and those present
condemned the wickedness of the deceased. Omar said again, ‘It
has become incumbent.’ Upon this I inquired, ‘Commander of the
Faithful, what is it that has become incumbent?’ He answered, ‘I
repeated only that which the Holy Prophet, praise and peace be
upon him, said and he said, ‘Allah will admit into Paradise any
Muslim whose goodness is attested to by four people.’ We asked,
‘What if there is only three?’ He answered, ‘Even if there are only
three.’ Then we asked, ‘What if there is only two?’ He answered,
‘Even if there are only two.’ We refrained from asking him about
one.”

REPAYMENT OF DEBTS
|H 203
“When Zubair stood up prepared to fight on the day of the battle of
Jamal, he called me so I, (Abdullah, son of Zubair) went and stood
at his side. He said, ‘My son, whoever is killed today will be either a
wrongdoer or one who is wronged. I am sure I shall be one of those
killed this day who are wronged. My greatest concern is my debt. Do
you think that anything will be left over from our property after the
repayment of my debts? My son, sell our property and pay my
debts. If anything remains after the repayment give one ninth of it to
your sons.’
He continued to instruct me about his debts and then said, ‘My son,
should you find yourself unable to repay any portion of my debt then
go to my Master and seek His help.’ I did not understand what he
meant so I asked, ‘Father, who is your Master?’ He replied: ‘Allah’.
So whenever I faced difficulty in the repayment of any part of his
debt, I supplicated saying, ‘O Master of Zubair, repay his debt; and
He repaid it.’
When Zubair was martyred, he left no money, but he left some land;
one piece in Ghabah, eleven houses in Medina, two in Basra, one in
Kufa and another in Egypt.
The reason for his indebtedness was that when someone came to
him and asked him to keep something in trust for him. Zubair,
fearing it might be lost, would not agree to accept it as a trust, so he
took it as a loan.
He would neither accept a governorship, revenue office, nor any
public office. He fought along with the Prophet, praise and peace be
upon him, Abu Bakr, Omar and Othman.
I prepared a statement of his debts and they were counted. Hizam
met me and asked, ‘Nephew, how much debt is due from my
brother?’ I concealed the actual state of affairs and said, ‘A hundred
thousand.’ Hakim said, ‘I do not think your assets will cover that
much.’ I said, ‘What would you think if the amount was two million,
two thousand?’ He said, ‘I do not think that this is within your
capacity. If you are unable to repay any portion of it call upon me for
help.’
Zubair had purchased the land in Ghabah for one hundred and
seventy thousand. Abdullah sold it for one million, six hundred
thousand, and announced that whosoever had a claim against
20

Zubair should meet him in Ghabah. Abdullah son of Ja'far came to
him and said: ‘Zubair owed me four hundred thousand, but I will
release him from the debt if you wish.’ Abdullah replied, ‘No.’ Ibn
Ja'far said, ‘If you wish for a postponement I will postpone the
recovery of the debt.’ Abdullah said, ‘No.’ So Ibn Ja'far said, ‘In that
case measure out a plot for me.’ So Abdullah marked out a plot and
sold the land to repay his father's debt. After the repayment there
remained four sixteenths of land.
Later, he visited Mu'awiah, who had with him at the time, Amr the
son of Othman, Munzir the son of Zubair, and the son of Zam'ah.
Mu'awiah asked Abdullah, ‘What price did you ask for the land in
Ghabah?’ He replied, ‘One hundred thousand for a sixteenth.’
Mu'awiah inquired, ‘How much of it is left?’ Abdullah said, ‘Four and
a half sixteenths.’ Munzir son of Zubair said, ‘I will take one
sixteenth for one hundred thousand.’ Amr son of Othman said, ‘I will
also take one sixteenth for one hundred thousand.’ Ibn Zam'ah said,
‘I too will take one sixteenth for one hundred thousand.’ Then
Mu'awiah asked, ‘How much of it is now left?’ Abdullah replied, ‘One
and a half sixteenths.’ So Mu'awiah said, ‘I will take it for one
hundred and fifty thousand.’ Later, Abdullah son of Ja'far sold to
Mu'awiah his share for six hundred thousand. When Abdullah son of
Zubair had finished paying his debts the children of Zubair asked,
‘Now distribute the inheritance among us.’ He replied, ‘I will not be
able to do this until after I have announced: Let anyone who has a
claim against Zubair come forward so that it can be repaid until the
passing of four successive pilgrimage seasons have been
completed.’
After he made this announcement during the four seasons he
distributed the inheritance among the heirs of Zubair according to
his directions. Zubair had four wives, each of them received one
million, two hundred thousand. The total of Zubair's estate
amounted to fifty million, two hunndred thousand.”
Bukhari with a chain up to Abdullah son of Zubair who related this.

“A man said to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ‘My
mother died suddenly. I believe that if she had the chance to speak
she would have given away something in charity. Would it be
21

counted as a meritorious act for her if I gave away something in
charity on her behalf?’ He answered, ‘Yes.’“

|H 697

give you (Jabir) this, and this, and this. But he passed away before
the revenues were received. When they arrived Abu Bakr
announced, ‘If there is anyone to whom the Prophet, praise and
peace be upon him, had made a promise or owed anything they
should come forward.’ So I (Jabir) went to him and said to him, ‘The
Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this and this to me. So
Abu Bakr took two handfuls of money and gave it to him. I counted it
and found it amounted to five hundred dirhams. Abu Bakr told me,
‘Take as much again.’"

DEATH OF A CHILD
|H 935

angels, 'Have you taken into your custody the soul of the child of My
worshiper?' They answer, 'Yes.' Then He inquires: 'Have you taken
into custody the flower of his heart?' They answer, 'Yes.' Then He
inquires, 'Then what did My worshiper say?' They answer. 'He
praised You and bore witness that to Allah we belong and to Him we
shall return.' Upon this Allah will say, 'Build for My worshiper a
mansion in Paradise and name it the House of Praise.'"

My believing worshiper who is patient when I take away his loved
one who is among the most cherished by him in the world.'”

REWARD FOR PATIENCE ON BEREAVEMENT
|H 937
“One of the daughters of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon
him, sent a message asking him to come to her because her son
was on the verge of death. He sent the greetings to her with a
message saying, ‘Everything that Allah has given belongs to Him,
and whatsoever He takes back belongs to Him. There is nothing that
does not have a term fixed by Him. Therefore, be patient and hope
for His Favor and Mercy.’
She repeated her request imploring him in the Name of Allah to
come, so he set out accompanied by Sa’ad son of Ubadah, Mu'az
son of Jabal, Ubayy son of Ka'ab, Zaid son of Thabit and others to
see her. Upon his arrival the child was presented to him, and he
took the child and placed him on his lap. When he saw how
distressed the child was, his eyes shed tears. Sa’ad asked, ‘O
Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, what is this?’
He replied, ‘This is compassion which Allah has placed in the hearts
of His worshipers, and Allah has compassion on those of His
worshipers who are compassionate.’"
In another narration it reads:
".. in the hearts of those of His worshipers whom He wills."

23

men relate that which they hear from you. (Please,) appoint for us
also a day when we can come to you to learn of that which Allah has
taught you.’ He said, ‘Come together on such and such a day.’
They gathered together and the Prophet, praise and peace be upon
him, taught them from that which Allah had taught him and then
said, ‘If any of you loses three children you will be shielded by them
from the Fire.’ A women asked, ‘What if there are only two.’ He
answered, ‘Even if there are only two.’”

Allah, praise and peace be upon him, even you?’ The Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, said, ‘Ibn Auf this is only the
tenderness of the heart.’ He wept again and said, ‘The eye sheds
tears and the heart is sorrowful, but we say only that which may
please our Lord. We are indeed sad, O Ibrahim, by your passing.’"

land of Thamood, he warned his Companions, ‘Do not pass by
these that are being punished, except with tears. If your eyes are
dry do not pass near them, lest you should be afflicted with that
which afflicted them.’"
We are also informed:
“When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, passed by Hijr,
he warned his Companions: ‘Do not enter the dwelling-places of
those who wronged themselves except with tears in your eyes lest
you are afflicted by the same affliction.’ Thereupon he covered his
head and hastened the pace of his mount until he had crossed the
valley.’"
