On the 29th of Shafar in 11th Hijri, coinciding with Monday, the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ) attended the funeral procession in Baqi'. On the way home from Baqi', suddenly he ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ The dizzy feeling in his head and the heat of his body immediately soared, that people could see the mark of his body temperature through the veins in his head.

He was sick for 13 or 14 days, and prayed together in the mosque for 11 days from that time

The last week before the Prophet died ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ asked his wife, "Where is my turn tomorrow? where's my turn tomorrow?"

They understood, what He meant, so they gave Him the freedom to choose.He finally decided to move to the house of Aisyah. He walked on the steps of Al Fadhl bin Abbas and Ali bin Abu Talib until he arrived at the house of Aisyah. He was there the last week of his life.

Meanwhile, Aisyah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ while blowing into His body and wiping His hands, expecting barakah.

On Wednesday, exactly five days before the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ died, His body temperature was getting higher, so He was getting feverish and shivering. He said, "Guyurka water from anywhere in my body, in order to meet people and give advice to them."

They sat Him on a laundry vessel and poured water on His body, until He said, "Enough, enough."

After feeling rather light, He entered the mosque with his head tied, sat down on the pulpit, and spoke before those who sat before Him, "The curse of Allah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 「God fights Jews and Christians, for turning the graves of their prophets into mosques." Then he continued, "Do not make my grave an idol of worship."

Then He said, "Who feels persecuted by me among my friends, let him rise to his feet now to do my qisas before he does it on the day of doomsday,” said the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇

He even repeated that sentence three times. Friends are silent, because they do not exist. But it turns out there was a friend standing, the figure was named Ukasyah.

Ukasyah then the story, he used to be with the Prophet in the battle of badr and whether intentional or not, said Ukasyah, whip for to dangle cameljanya about the body of Ukasyah. At that time the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ was next to the Ukashah and was both riding camels.

“I don't know if you intentionally or not, perhaps you mean whipping your strands?” ukasyah.

Suddenly, the friends were shocked, Standing up. Didn't expect there would be a figure of Ukasyah who dared to act like that. How dare he act like that to the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ P?

They believe that the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ was unintentional. Moreover, being hit by a whip when riding a horse or camel is common.

They were angry at Ukashah, but the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ did not. Precisely the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ asked to be taken his whip.

Previously, the friends had asked permission to be replaced by the Prophet. Starting from Abu, Bakr and Umar even prepared themselves to be whipped, however many, as long as the Prophet.

But, the Messenger of Allah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ asked the Companions to just look. Because it was his fault.

Be silent, the Messenger of Allah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ smiled. “Yes Prophet, when you hit me, I was not wearing clothes.”

The companions who saw and heard it became very angry at Ukashah.

The Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ understand. Then he took off his shirt. And the friends were crying too. Can't bear to see the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ reveal his upper clothes and will receive a whip from Ukashah.

After the shirt was opened, Ukasyah approached. The other companions wanted to head off Ukashah who had brought the whip. But the Messenger of Allah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ asked him to be closer, forbidding the Companions to scuttle the Ukash.

After the close and the cries of the friends increasingly deafen the ears, Ukasyah actually did the unexpected.

He came and embraced Him, “I redeemed you with my soul, O Messenger of Allah, who will beat you? I just want to touch your body glorified by God with my body. And Allah took care of me from hell with your honor,”.

The Prophet smiled, ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ smiled, then said, ”Listen to you, if you want to see a member of heaven, this is the person.”

Instantly the people there were happy with Ukasyah. A gentle young man who loved the Prophet.

Wallahu.
