Day: September 28, 2023

What we know for sure is that day of his death was ‘Monday’, as for the date we have different narrations.
Narrated Hisham’s father: Aisha said, “I went to Abu Bakr (during his fatal illness) and he asked me, ‘In how many garments was the Prophet shrouded?’ She replied, ‘In three Sahuliya pieces of white cloth of cotton, and there was neither a shirt nor a turban among them.’ Abu Bakr further asked her, ‘On which day did the Prophet die?’ She replied, ‘He died on Monday.’ He asked, ‘What is today?’ She replied, ‘Today is Monday.’ He added, ‘I hope I shall die sometime between this morning and tonight.’ Then he looked at a garment that he was wearing during his illness and it had some stains of saffron. Then he said, ‘Wash this garment of mine and add two more garments and shroud me in them.’ I said, ‘This is worn out.’ He said, ‘A living person has more right to wear new clothes than a dead one; the shroud is only for the body’s pus.’ He did not die till it was the night of Tuesday and was buried before the morning.”
(Bukhari – Kitab al Janaiz)
13th Rabi ul Awwal: Muhammad Suleman Mansurpure
12th Rabi ul Awwal: Mubarakpuri
2nd Rabi ul Awwal: Ibn e Hajr
1st Rabi ul Awwal: Ibn e Jareer
28th Safar: Sh’ia Historians (They also mention the day to be Monday)
From the books of Hadith we can be sure that the year Prophet Muhammad died:
9th Dhil Hijjah was Friday (Bukhari – Prophetic Commentary on the Qur’an)
“….It was Friday and the Prophet was standing at ‘Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)”
(Narrated by Umar bin Al-Khattab)
We have four possibilities:
1- If Dhil Hijjah, Muharram and Safar all were of 30 days, Rabi ul Awwal starts on Wednesday and Mondays fall on 6th, 13th and so on.
2- If Dhil Hijjah, Muharram and Safar all were of 29 days, Rabi ul Awwal starts on Sunday and Mondays fall on 2nd, 9th, 16th and so on.
3- If any two months were of 29 days and one of 30 days, Rabi ul Awwal starts on Monday and Mondays fall on 1st, 8th, 15th and so on.
4- If any two months were of 30 days and one of 29 days, Rabi ul Awwal starts on Monday and Mondays fall on 7th, 14th and so on.
As for 28th Safar:
1- If Dhil Hijjah and Muharram are 30 days it is Sunday.
2- If Dhil HIjjah and Muharram are 29 days it is Friday
3- If one is 29 and the other is 30 it is Saturday.

Conclusion
Hence, the view of Ibn e Hajr (2nd Rabi ul Awwal) , view of Ibn e Jareer (1st Rabi ul Awwal) and Suleman Mansurpuri (13th Rabi ul Awwal) are the only possibilities and the common views of 12th Rabi ul Awwal and 28th Safar have been proven to be incorrect.

The miracles related to the earth:

There are some miracles related to the earth concerning solid matter and some related to animals. A. The spouting
of water from between his fingers:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Anas Ibn Mâlik who said: “I saw the Nabi Pakﷺ one day, when it was time for ‘Asr (afternoon) prayer. Then the people were searching for water to make Wudû’ (ablution) but could not find any. The Nabi Pakﷺ ordered that some water for Wudû’ be brought to him. He ﷺ then placed his hand in the pot and ordered the people to start making Wudû’ using that water. I saw the water spouting from underneath his fingers, and the people started performing Wudû’ until all of
them finished “

Imâm al-Bukhârî a narrated on the atomy of Anas who said: “The Nabi Pakﷺ went out on one of his journeys with some of his companions. They went on walking until the time of the prayer became due, and then they could not find any water to perform ablution. They said: “O Messenger of Allâh! We cannot find water to perform ablution”, and he # could see in their faces that they disliked it. One of them went away and brought a little amount of water in a pot. The Nabi Pakﷺ took it and performed ablution, and then stretched his four fingers onto the pot and said (to the people): “Get up to perform your Wudû’. They started performing the ablution till all of them did it, and they were seventy or persons

Imâm Bukhari also narrated on the authority of Anas who said: “It was the time of prayer one day and the people whose houses were close to the mosque went to their houses to perform Wudû’, while the others remained there. A stone pot containing water was brought to the Nabi Pakﷺ, who wanted to put his hand in it, but it was too small. So, he had

to bring his fingers together before putting his hand in the pot. Then all the people performed Wudû’ (with that water)”. They were eighty men according to the narration of Anas.¹ 17

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of alBarâ’ Ibn ‘Azib who said : “We were one thousand four hundred persons on the day of alHudaibiyah (Treaty). Al-Hudaibiyah is a well, and we drew out its water without leaving a single drop. The Prophet Nabi Pakﷺ sat at the edge of the well and asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he threw it out into the well. We stayed for a short while and then drew water from the well and quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction

DISTRIBUTION OF THE BOOTY

When the Prophet (s.a) returned from Taef and camped at the Valley of Jaarana on 5 Zilqidda, a delegation of Bani Hawazan embraced Islam and came to his presence. They requested the persons of their tribe taken captive be freed. One chief of Bani Saad, Zohair ibne Umro, said that among the captives were two of the Prophet (s.a.)’s own aunts. who had brought him up in their own arms. If any Arab chieftain had taken the milk of one of our ladies, he would certainly have respected her. You too must treat us with dignity, and we don’t expect anything else from you. The Prophet (s.a.) told him that when the Muslims assembled, he should broach the subject of the release of the captives with them. He said that at that moment he will raise the matter of the release of the progeny of Abd al Mutallib. Therefore, when the Muslims came after the Duhr Prayer, the captives said that the Prophet (s.a.) had taken the milk of one of their tribeswoman and on that strength they ask to be freed from captivity. The Prophet (s.a.) said that he was foregoing the share of Bani Abd al Mutallib. The Mohajirs and the Ansar said that their share too belonged to the Prophet (s.a.) and that they had foregone their rights in his favor. However, Aqra ibne Habis, Abbas ibne Mardas and Ainia ibne Hasan were a bit reluctant. When the captives were released, the Prophet (s.a.) asked the delegates about Malik ibne Auf Nasri. They said that he was with the Bani Thaqeef at Taef. The Prophet (s.a.) asked them to send word to him that if he came there, the members of his family will be released.from captivity. When Malik got the message, he immediately started from Taef, and reaching Jaarana, he went to the presence of the Prophet (s.a) and embraced Islam. The Prophet (s.a.) released his family, gave back his confiscated assets and gave him a hundred camels as a gift.

When the captives of Hawazan were released, the Muslims insisted on the distribution of the booty of war. And said that the camels, goats and sheep might be distributed there and then! The Prophet (s.a.) gave his approval and the distribution started. The Prophet (s.a.), from his Khums, gave a hundred camels each to the persons who had newly embraced Islam. Abu Sufian and his sons Muawiya and Yazid were given a hundred camels each. Besides them, Aqra ibne Habis, Ainia ibne Hasan and some other persons received a hundred camels each. Some persons were given lots of fifty camels. Generally the rest of the men got four camels and forty sheep each. The Ansar too received the booty in the same manner. They complained that the Prophet (s.a.) preferred his own people, although the Ansar supported him in the time of need. When he heard about these murmers, he assembled them and told them that he had given some preferential treatment to the Qureish that they don’t recant from Islam! He said that they had their camels and sheep with them and you, the Ansar, have with you your Prophet (s.a.)! He asked them what was preferable? The eyes of the Ansar watered and they said, “Ya Rasool Allah (s.a.)! We wholeheartedly accept the distribution of the booty! In their share is the worldly wealth and you are in our share!” The Prophet (s.a.) offered a prayer for the Ansar and their progeny!
Abbas ibne Mardas Aslami too was expecting a larger share of the booty than the ordinary Muslims got. He wrote some couplets to express his displeasure.:

“Hasan and Habis were not superior to my father Mardas in any society, Neither I am inferior to Ainia and Aqra. But whom you down grade will not rise again!

The Prophet (s.a) said, “Aqtaoo ani lisana- Cut his tongue!”, meaning that he be quietened by giving him some more of the booty! But he didn’t understand the allegory and shivered thinking that his tongue was about to be cut! When Hazrat Ali (a.s.) asked him to come, he asked where he was being taken. He said that he was being taken along to comply with the orders of the Prophet (s.a.)! He therefore accompanied Hazrat Ali (a.s.) to the place where the camels and sheep were penned. Hazrat Ali (a.s.) asked him to take more camels to bring his tally to hundred and join the group of the Muallifat al Quloob (the Pretenders) or remain contented with the four camels and continue in the group of Mohajirs!” Abbas ibne Mardas asked Hazrat Ali (a.s.) to let him be with his four camels because he couldn’t imagine to be counted among the Muallifat al Quloob!

Ameer al Momineen had placed before him both the situations and had also explained the consequence of each of them giving him the right to maintain the privilege of being in the group of the Migrants or going to the side of the Pretenders!

After the distribution, the Prophet (s.a.) returned to Makka and performed the minor pilgrimage of Umra. Itab ibne Asaid was appointed the governor of Makka and then the Prophet (s.a.) left for Madina in the beginning of the month of Zil Hijja.
