THE DAY THE PROPHET DIED

It is reported from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) , that when the Prophet (prayers and peace be upon him) died, Abu Bakr went out while Umar was speaking to the people. Abu Bakr said to him: ‘Sit down O Umar,’ twice, But Umar refused to Sit.

Abu Bakr said: ‘To proceed, if anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but if you used to worship Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Allah Says:

((Muhammad is no more than a Messenger and indeed (many)  messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed,  will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers) and then  he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah, and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful))’  [Aal-Imrãn: 144].

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: “By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before, till Abu Bakr recited it and all the people took it from him, and I heard everybody reciting it.”

Umar ibn Al Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: ‘my legs could not support me and I fell down at the very moment of hearing him reciting it, declaring that the Prophet (prayers and peace be upon him) had died.’
