Passing Away of the holy Prophet

 
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.
