Explanation of the day of departure of
holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.)
Today his bright eye which a world got life through it had a poor sight
and it went to go out. The sun crawled behind the clouds slowly and
refrained from shining. The spring of life water went to became dry. The
precipitation of invisible divine inspiration went to stop. The angels
came down around his bed with tearful eyes. And this Allah’s friend, His
messenger, Mohammad-e- Mostafa (p.b.u.h) was asleep in bed. That
powerful body which tried to guide and lead people compassionately, and
put himself in danger that Allah sent him a message “Our friend, We did
not send you Quran to put yourself in difficulty” did not have any
strength.
After a while the holy prophet started speaking. He identified his
inheritance and stated:
“O. People, I left two valuable things, Quran and my progeny. Until you
grasp them you never go astray.
The Prophet’s health became worse, he prohibited meetings anyone.
Yet he stated: Call my brother and my helper.
Imam Ali(a.s) came near and bended on the holy Prophet’s breast. The
holy Prophet whispered with him for a long time.
The agony of death arrived. The holy Prophet asked Ali to turn him
towards Ka’ba and undertake the ceremonial, prayer, and shrouding. Zahra
(a.s) was watching this sight. When she saw her father’s condition burst
into tears and cried.
She stated: Peace be upon you O, Allah’s friend and his blessing be upon
his servants. O’ Mine of inspiration, O’ Shining lamp.
