Five Words of the Prophet Muhammad Before He Died

Prophet Muhammad advised the Muhajirin to do good to the Ansar

One of the historical data that I found explained that a few days before the death of the Prophet Muhammad, he advised several people from among the Muhajirin to do good to the Ansar people. We can find this explanation in the hadith below:

قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ : إِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ قَدْ قَضَوْا الَّذِيْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَبَقِيَ الَّذِيْ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَأَحْسِنُوْا إِلَى مُحْسِنِهِمْ ، وَتَجَاوَزُوْا عَنْ مُسِيْئِهِمْ

The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “Indeed, the Anshar have done what was their duty and now there is something left which is your duty. You must do good to those who do good to them and prevent someone from doing bad to them.”

Prophet Muhammad advised Muslims to be kind to slaves

One of the historical data that I found explained that a few days before the Prophet Muhammad died, he advised the Muslims to do good to their slaves. We can find this explanation in the hadith below:

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ بْنِ أَبِيْ طَالِبٍ -رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ-: كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ، اِتَّقُوْا اللهَ فِيْمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ

From Ali ibn Abi Talib radliyalllahu anhu, “The last words of the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was: “(Pay attention to) prayer, (pay attention to) prayer. Fear Allah regarding your slaves.”

The Prophet Muhammad ordered the Muslims to expel the Jews in the Hejaz and Najran from the Arabian Peninsula

One of the historical data that I found explained that a few days before the Prophet Muhammad died, he ordered the Muslims to expel the Jews in the Hijaz and Najran from the Arabian Peninsula. We can find this explanation in the hadith below:

قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ : أَخْرِجُوْا يَهُوْدَ الْحِجَازِ وَ أَهْلَ نَجْرَانَ مِنْ جَزِيْرَةِ الْعَرَبِ، وَاعْلَمُوا أنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ الَّذِيْن اِتَّخَذُوْا قُبُوْرَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ

Allah’s Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “Take out the Jews who are in the Hijaz and Najran from the Arabian Peninsula and know that the worst of people are those who turn their graves into mosques.”

Prophet Muhammad advised Muslims not to turn graves into mosques

One of the historical data that I found explained that a few days before the death of the Prophet Muhammad, he advised Muslims not to make graves as mosques. We can find this explanation in the hadith below:

قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ : أَلَا وَإنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانُوا يَتَّخِذُونَ قُبُورَ أنْبِيَائِهِمْ وصَالِحِيهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ، أَلَا فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا القُبُورَ مَسَاجِدَ، إنِّي أنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ

Allah’s Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “Know that the people before you have made the graves of their Prophets and their good people as mosques. Know that you should not turn graves into mosques. In fact, I forbid you to do that.”

The Prophet Muhammad advised Muslims to always have good expectations of Allah

One of the historical data that I found explained that a few days before the death of the Prophet Muhammad, he advised Muslims to always have a good suspicion of Allah. We can find this explanation in the hadith below:

عَنْ جَابِرٍ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ -رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ-: سَمِعْتُ رَسولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلَّمَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَقُوْلُ: لا يَمُوتَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إلَّا وَهُوَ يُحْسِنُ الظَّنَّ باللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

From Jabir bin Abdillah radliyallahu anhu, “I have heard the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) say three days before he died, “Let no one of you die unless he has a good suspicion of Allah Azza wa Jalla.”
