Hadith Commentary:

"Mab'ath" is a verbal noun (masdar mimi) which means "to send."


There are various opinions regarding the commissioning (ba'th) of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). The preferred opinion is that he was commissioned at the age of forty.

He remained in Makkah Mukarramah for thirteen years after prophethood.

In the narration of Sahih Muslim, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stayed in Makkah for fifteen years after being commissioned. Out of these, for seven years he would see light and illumination and hear voices from the unseen, and for eight years the revelation (wahy) would descend.

(Sahih Muslim, al-Fada'il, Hadith: 6104. (2353))

However, the correct view is that after prophethood, he remained in Makkah for thirteen years, and after that, he stayed in Madinah Tayyibah for ten years.

When he passed away, his age was sixty-three years.
