"When Allah’s Messenger died (Allah bless him and give him peace), they disagreed over where to bury him, so Abu Bakr said: “I heard Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) say something I have never forgotten. He said: ‘Never has Allah taken a Prophet , but in the place where he would want to be buried.’ So bury him in the spot where his pallet is!'”
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْعَلاءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لا أَغْبِطُ أَحَدًا بَهَوْنِ مَوْتٍ بَعْدَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ مَوْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
قال أبو عيسى: سألت أبا زرعه فقلت له: من عبد الرحمن بن العلاء هذا؟
فقال: هو عبد الرحمن بن العلاء اللجلاج.
Narrated 'A’isha said:
"No more will I envy anyone for an easy death now that I have seen how the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) suffered in his passing.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وعياش العنبرى , وسوار بن عبد الله , وغير واحد , قالوا: أخبرنا يحيي بن سعيد , عن سفيان الثورى , عن موسى بن أبي عائشة , عن عبيد الله , عن ابن عباس وعائشة: أن أبا بكر قبل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بعدما مات.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas and ‘A’isha report:
"Abu Bakr kissed the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) after he died.”
"I saw Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) when he was at the point of death, and beside him there was a vessel containing water. He would dip his hand into the vessel, then wipe his face with the water, saying: 'O Allah, help me against the atrocities of death (or: the agonies of death)!’”
