It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the last moments of the worldly life of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) approached, he asked, "What day is it today?" People informed him that it was Monday. He said, "If I pass away tonight, do not wait for tomorrow, but bury me tonight, because the day and night that are closer to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are more beloved to me."
