He praised Allah and glorified Him, and said: I am the messenger of Allah’s Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to you, that you worship Allah, do not associate anything with Him, establish prayer, and pay zakat. Because He alone is Allah, and Paradise and Hell are places of abiding; thus, there is no departure from there, and it is a place of permanence. Thus, there is no death there.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the religion began in a state of estrangement, and soon it will return to its original state. So glad tidings for the strangers.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: When any one of you dies, his abode is presented to him morning and evening.

Narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in his illness in which he passed away, said: "What happened to the gold?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! It is with me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring it to me." So I brought it and presented it to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and it was between five and nine (coins). Thus, he (peace and blessings be upon him) placed it in his palm and turned it over, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If this gold had remained with Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and he had met Allah, what would Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم be thought of? O Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)! Spend it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while his blessed face was changed. I thought that this (perhaps) was due to some change, so I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon you)! I am seeing your face changed. Is this due to some illness? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No. But the reason is those seven dinars that were brought to us yesterday. I had placed them at the edge of the bed (and) forgot about them. Thus, I spent the night without distributing them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Harith that he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once finished the Asr prayer quickly and turned away, so the people were very surprised at his haste.

So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A piece (of gold or something similar) that was kept at home came to my mind, and I feared that it might remain with us overnight. Therefore, I ordered it to be distributed."

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). He (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a curtain hanging at her door, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not enter inside. The narrator says that it was very rare that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) would come, he would not first go to Fatimah. When Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came home, he saw Fatimah worried and sad, so he asked, "What has happened to you?" She replied, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me but did not enter." Upon this, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! This action of yours has been very hard on Fatimah, that you came to her but did not enter." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What do I have to do with the world?" or he said, "What have I to do with decoration and adornment?" Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) then went to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and told her what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said. Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) what he commands me to do." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she should send it to Banu so-and-so."
