Before the start

1. Before the start.

The beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the jewel in the eye of the Companions. It was a matter of ritual separation for the Companions to blind him for a moment. The presence of Nabiji made their hearts happy. Their thoughts revolve around the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as all aspects of their lives revolve around them. In the Dhu-Dhu desert, the chest of a lost traveler began to throb for a drop of water, just as the Companions had with the Prophet. Rare, like water equal to nectar. They used to lose sight of Nabiji. He was dearer to them than life itself. What was the state of mind of the Companions when the Companions became restless and desperate without seeing a man for a moment, whose momentary absence would lead everyone astray? Is it too much for the Companions to imagine in such scenes that the beloved man will no longer be seen in the world, will not sit together and talk, will not be greeted by pouring out all the emotions of the heart, will not be addressed as "Ya Rasoolullah", will not be called "Labbaik" Was it easy? Was not. We can understand a little bit of the storm of separation that arose in the hearts of the Companions after the loss of the Prophet (peace be upon him) from the historical incident of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

On the day of the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went completely mad. He could not believe that Nabiji could die. He may have thought, how can a Messenger sent by Allah, whom Allah (swt) has chosen for mankind, on whom the heavenly book Al-Quran has been revealed, whom Allah (swt) has met above the seven heavens, die? Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) then threw more stones. Muhammad (peace be upon him) is also a human being. It is normal for him to die as a human being. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala did not grant immortality to any created thing '- his mind was forgotten for a while from this constant truth. On the day of the Prophet's death, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was not in a position to say these words. He roared in a state of shock. He said, "Whoever says that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is dead, I will kill him." [1]

Pushing the crowd, Abu Bakr came forward. He removed the sheet from the Prophet's face and kissed him twice on his radiant face. Then, addressing the crowd, he said, "Surely Muhammad (peace be upon him) has died." [2] In such a simple statement of Abu Bakr, the pain of Umar's heart seemed to double. The sea of ​​shakes that was born in the heart of Nabiji's death seemed to become more turbulent, more carefree. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, ‘No. Never. Muhammad (peace be upon him) cannot die until the hypocrites are gone forever. ” [3]

Seeing 'Umar being so forgotten, Abu Bakr said, "Let those who used to worship Muhammad (peace be upon him) know that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is dead." And those who are God

Worship Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, let them know that Allah is Ever-Living, Eternal. [1] He then recited that verse from Surah Al-Imran:

وما محمد إلا رسول قد خلت من قبله الرسل أفإن مات أو قتل انقلبتم على أعقابكم ومن ينقلب على عقبيه فلن يضر الله شيئا وسيجزي الله الشاكرين

And Muhammad is only a messenger. Surely many Messengers have passed away before him. If Muhammad dies or is killed, will they flee from the path of God? Whoever flees from the way of Allah, he cannot harm Allah in any way. And Allah will soon reward the grateful. [2]

Umar was stunned when he heard this verse on the face of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, ‘I think I heard this verse for the first time today!’ [3]

Even a prominent Companion like Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was forgotten for a short time that day. In Shaikh's exaggeration he forgot that Muhammad (peace be upon him) could also die. A prophet, an apostle; The bearer of the heavenly book. The greatest man to have a foothold in the world. Could such a person also die? Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) broke a wound on that day when he heard a verse from the Qur'an. He realized that he had deviated from one great truth, one great reality. It is not that Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not recite this verse before. He has recited this verse many times before. He has read and taught these verses to many people. Even then he said, ‘I think I heard this verse for the first time today! This is one of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him
