Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Abu Lulu carried out this attack, as has already been clarified in previous chapters. This attack took place on a Wednesday. It was such a fatal wound that he could not survive it, and after being ill for three days, on the first of Muharram, Saturday, in the year 24 Hijri, he departed towards his True Creator, and forever entered sweet slumber beside the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu).
