and many other authors of books of Kanz al-`Ummal quoted on page
not only this, she is the only one
traditions have all quoted `Ali (as)
55,Vol. 4
who said this of herself, not one
saying, "The Messenger of Allah,
Ibn `Abbas was asked on ce, "Have
companion said she did. However a
(peace be upon him and his
progeny) taught me," meaning
during that sickness, "a thousand
doors each one of which leads to a
thousand others." It is hadith
number 6009 quoted at the end of
page 392,Vol. 6 of Kanz al-`Ummal.
you seen when the Messenger of
Allah (peace be upon him and his
progeny) died, if his head was on
anyone's lap?" He answered, "He
died reclining on `Ali's chest." It was
said to him that `Urwah narrates a
tradition from `Ayesha saying that
number of companions have said
this was the case and it was Ali (as)
and not Aisha. But the misguided
scholars will never show this or
make it be known because it puts
Aisha in a very tight situation, as
many narrations have done. Not just
this, but the most important issue
Whenever `Umar ibn al Khattab
that has been left is that those that
was asked about anything regarding
do not follow it will find themselves
he (pbuh) died reclining on her
chest and Ibn `Abbas denied it,
these matters, he would say nothing
asking the person who put the
other than, "Ask `Ali, since he is the
question forth, "Do you believe it?!
one who can handle it." Jabir ibn
By Allah, the Messenger of Allah,
`Abdullah al Ansari is quoted saying
that Ka`b al Ahbar once asked
`Umar, "What were the last words
of the Messenger of Allah, (peace
be upon him and his progeny)?"
`Umar answered, "Ask `Ali." Ka`b
did so and `Ali (as) said, "I let the
Messenger of Allah, (peace be upon
him and his progeny), recline his
head on my flanks till he finally
uttered, `Prayers! [i.e. uphold
prayers] Prayers!" Ka`b said, "This,
indeed is the call of all prophets
and for this purpose are they sent."
Then Ka`b asked `Umar who gave
the ceremonial funeral bath to the
Prophet's corpse and his answer
was again, "Ask `Ali." When Ka`b
asked `Ali (as), `Ali answered that it
was he who did so, as stated by Ibn
Sa`d on page 51, Part Two: Vol. 2 of
Tabaqat and it is hadith 1106 in
(peace be upon him and his
progeny) died reclining his head on
`Ali's chest and Ali is the one who
gave him his bath." -Quoted by Ibn
Sa`d on the same page mentioned
above and it is hadith number 1108
of the ones enumerated in Kanz al`Ummal page 55,Vol. 4
on a long narrow road and with no
guidance, because this is what will
save the ummah of Muhammad
(sawas) from misguidance and how
few are the ones that follow it and
this is the Will of the Prophet peace
Be upon him and his purified
progeny).
To be continued Insha'Allah.

Ibn Sa`d cites Imam Abu Muhammad in his treatise on "Al-Wasaya (wills)"
page 83,Vol. 2 of his Sahih and in his
`Ali ibn al Husayn Zainul `Abidin
(as) saying, "The Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him and his
progeny), breathed his last breath
while his head was in `Ali's lap.” Quoted in Tabaqat by Ibn Sa`d on
page 51.
This is what we have from the
narration so look at the narration
and how (Aisha) has stated in there
hadeeth such and such and these
narrations given here are in
opposition to her saying on whose
lap the Prophet (sawas) died on, but
chapter on the sickness and demise of
the Prophet (pbuh) on page 64 Vol. 3, of
the same book. It is quoted by Muslim
on page 64,Vol. 3 of his Sahih and it is
also quoted by Muslim in his treatise of
the Prophet's will on page 14,Vol. 2 of
his Sahih.
[2] Some probably already know that
both shaykhs have intentionally
narrated this hadith while discussing the
Prophet's will to `Ali ibn abi Talib (as)
for those who stated at that time that
the Prophet (sawas) had left a will to
`Ali (as) and had not yet split from the
ranks of the nation. They were either
among the sahabah or the tabi`in who
