From Illness to Death!

Book Name:From Illness to Death!

 

Beloved Rasool inquired after him

Sayyiduna Haseen Bin Wahwah [وَحوَح] Ansari رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: Sayyiduna Talhah Bin Bara رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ fell ill, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came to inquire after him, though it was a cold winter and the sky was cloudy. As he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was about to go back he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to the family members of Sayyiduna Talhah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ: I think these are the last moments of his life. Inform me so that I can lead his funeral Salah; be quick to prepare him for the burial. As the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reached Mahallah Bani Saalim, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ passed away. Sayyiduna Talhah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ made a will to his family members as the night began: When I die, bury me and do not call the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. I fear that non-Muslims might cause trouble to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم because of me. His family members did the same.

In the morning, when the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was informed, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم went to his blessed grave. Blessed companions made a row, and then the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم raised his blessed hands and made Du’a: O Allah Pak! May Talhah meet You in the state that he is smiling! (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 28, pp. 4, Hadees 3554)

Dear Islamic sisters! Have you noticed! Despite very cold weather our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم went to inquire after his beloved companion Sayyiduna Talhah Bin Bara رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. When he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ passed away, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم went to his grave and made Du’a of forgiveness for him. But alas, at present, we have become negligent even in performing this beautiful Sunnah. Being occupied in gaining worldly wealth we have forgot that Muslims are brother to one another; we have forgot that real Muslims help one another in trouble; we have also forgot that a real Muslim helps his ill, poor and afflicted Muslim brother. Today we are in such a terrible condition that love between real brothers and sisters is also decreasing. For example, if one brother is at deathbed, his other brother does not go to meet him on the basis of old disputes and quarrels. In the past, if two people quarrel due to any reason, the third one used to make them understand with gentleness
