H
Once the Prophet knew the severity of his
illness, he took it upon himself to visit the graves
of the martyrs of Uhud. He sent salaam on them,
followed by an assurance he would join them soon.
Three months after performing his last hajj and
delivering his last khutbah (speech)in the Uranah
Valley of Arafat, on Monday the 29th of Safar,
in the 11th year of Hijrah, Prophet began to
experience a severe headache followed by a very
high fever. This led to a very weak and frail state.
Directly after, he visited his living Sahaba
with tears in his eyes, saying, ‘I miss my
brothers.’ The Sahabah were confused,
and asked, ‘A re we not your brothers?’ The
Prophet replied, ‘My brothers are those
who are going to come after me and follow me.’
