Have mercy on me and join me with the highest companions."

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "O Allah! I choose the highest companions." Then I realized that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to depart from this world.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When one of you dies, his place is shown to him morning and evening; if he is among the people of Paradise, then (his place is) in Paradise, and if he is among the people of Hell, then (his place is) in Hell. And it is said: This is your abode until Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, raises you on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The earth consumes all of a person's body except the backbone; from it he was created and from it he will be created on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The soul of the believer becomes in the form of a bird and hangs from a tree of Paradise until Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, returns it to its body on the day He will resurrect it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, said: 'When My servant desires to meet Me, I also desire to meet him, and when he dislikes meeting Me, I also dislike meeting him.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There was a man who had never done any good deed. When he was about to die, he said to his people: After I die, burn me and divide my ashes into two parts—scatter one part on land and the other part in the river. This is because if Allah the Exalted finds me, He will punish me with such a punishment as He has never inflicted on anyone in the whole world. When he died, his people did as he had instructed. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, commanded the land and it gathered all the ashes, then He commanded the river and it gathered them as well. After that, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, asked: 'Why did you do this?' He replied: Out of fear of You, O Lord! And You know best. So Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, forgave him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every child is born upon the religion of Islam, then his parents make him a Jew or a Christian, just as a camel is born whole from a healthy animal—do you find any among them that is mutilated?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What will be the state of those children who die in their childhood? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Allah knows best what they would have done when they grew up."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until a man passes by another's grave and says: Would that I were in his place in the grave."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a funeral passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: "Either the relieved one or the one others are relieved from." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: Who is the relieved one and who is the one others are relieved from? He said: "The believing servant is the relieved one, meaning when he dies, he is freed from the hardships and pains of the world and finds comfort in the mercy of Allah Almighty. And the disobedient servant is the one others are relieved from; when he dies, people, towns, trees, and animals find relief from him."
