Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numayr narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in Madinah in the year 32 AH, at the time when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was killed. He had made his bequest to Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him), so it was he who led his funeral prayer; it is also said that Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) led his funeral prayer. He was buried in Jannat al-Baqi' at night, and at that time he was a little over sixty years old.
