Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that (on one occasion) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A messenger came to me from my Lord and informed me—or he said: gave me glad tidings—that whoever from my Ummah dies in a state that he does not associate anything with Allah, he will enter Paradise." I asked, "Even if he has committed adultery and even if he has stolen?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Even if he has committed adultery, even if he has stolen."

Narrated Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever dies while associating partners with Allah will enter the Hellfire." I (Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him) say: Whoever dies without associating partners with Allah will enter Paradise.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to do seven things and forbade us from seven things. He commanded us: to accompany funeral processions, to visit the sick, to accept invitations, to help the oppressed, to fulfill oaths, to return greetings, and to say“Yarhamuk Allah”to one who sneezes. And he forbade us: from (using) silver utensils, gold rings, and (wearing) silk, dibaj, qazz, and istabraq (all are types of silk fabrics). (And the seventh thing among them was left out.)

Umm al-'Ala, an Ansari woman (narrates that she) had pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace be upon him) (on Islam), that the Muhajirun cast lots among themselves (for the division by the Ansar), and our lot fell to 'Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him), so we hosted him in our house. Then he fell ill with the illness in which he passed away. When he died, and he had been washed and shrouded in his clothes, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came. I said, "O Abu Sa'ib! May Allah's mercy be upon you. My testimony for you is that Allah has honored you." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "How do you know that Allah has honored him?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! May my father be sacrificed for you. (I said this because) if Allah does not honor him, then who will He honor?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, he has died (in a good state), and I also hope for good for him, but by Allah, I do not know, though I am Allah's Messenger, what will be done with me." Umm al-'Ala says, "After that, I never testified to anyone's purity."

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): When my father was martyred in the (battle of Uhud), I would repeatedly remove the cloth from his face and weep, and people would stop me, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not stop me. Then my paternal aunt Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) also began to weep, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whether you weep or not, the angels continued to shade him with their wings until you lifted him (from the battlefield)."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) informed about the death of Najashi on the day he passed away. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to the place of prayer, arranged the people in rows, and said four takbirs, that is, he offered the funeral prayer in absentia.

Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): (During the time when the Battle of Mu'tah was taking place, on one of those days) the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said (to us): "(At this moment) Zaid took the flag and he was martyred, then Ja'far took the flag and he was martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawahah took the flag and he was martyred, and the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) were flowing (with tears due to excessive weeping). Then Khalid bin Walid took the flag without being appointed as commander, and victory was granted at his hands."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Any Muslim whose three children, who had not reached puberty, die, Allah will admit him into Paradise due to the great mercy He has for those children."

Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us while we were washing his daughter, and he said: "Wash her three times, or five times, or more than that if you see fit, with pure water and lotus leaves, and in the end add camphor (to the water). Then when you have finished, inform me." So when we finished, we informed him, and he gave us his waist-wrapper and said: "Shroud her body with it."

In another narration, (Sayyida Umm Atiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her, says) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Begin washing from her right side and from the places of ablution." (Umm Atiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her) says that we combed her hair and divided it into three parts.
