Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2908 — when the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَيَّارٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَمَّا ثَقُلَ وَعِنْدَهُ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ ، إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ادْنُ مِنِّي ، ادْنُ مِنِّي فَأَسْنَدَهُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى قَامَ عَلِيٌّ وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ ، وَجَاءَ الْعَبَّاسُ وَمَعَهُ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، فَقَامُوا عَلَى الْبَابِ ، فَجَعَلَ عَلِيٌّ يَقُولُ : مَا زِلْتَ طَيِّبًا حَيًّا ، وَطَيِّبًا مَيِّتًا ، وَسَطَعَتْ رِيحُهُ طَيِّبَةً لَمْ يَجِدُوا مِثْلَهَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهَا رِيحُ حَنِينِكَ كَحَنِينِ الْمَرْأَةِ ، وَأَقْبِلُوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ . فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَدْخِلُوا عَلَيَّ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ ، فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ : نَشَدْنَاكُمْ بِاللهِ فِي نَصِيبِنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ، فَأَدْخَلُوا رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ أَوْسُ بْنُ خَوْلِيٍّ ، يَحْمِلُ جَرَّةً بِإِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ ، فَسَمِعُوا صَوْتًا فِي الْبَيْتِ : لَا تُجَرِّدُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَاغْسِلُوهُ كَمَا هُوَ فِي قَمِيصِهِ ، فَغَسَّلَهُ عَلِيٌّ ، يُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ الْقَمِيصِ ، وَالْفَضْلُ يُمْسِكُ الثَّوْبَ عَنْهُ ، وَالْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَنْقُلُ الْمَاءَ ، وَعَلَى يَدِ عَلِيٍّ خِرْقَةٌ ، يُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ الْقَمِيصِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the illness of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became very heavy, and with him (peace and blessings be upon him) were the Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and the Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), at that moment Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came in. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him, he raised his blessed head and then said: "Come close to me, come close to me." So he supported him (peace and blessings be upon him) against himself, and remained with him (peace and blessings be upon him) continuously until he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away. When his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed soul was taken, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and closed the door, and Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came with Banu Abd al-Muttalib, and they all stood at the door. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) began to say: "You (peace and blessings be upon him) were pure in life and you are pure after death." And such a fragrant scent spread from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that none of them had ever found the like of it. Then (someone) said: "Enough! Give up wailing like women and turn to (the preparation of) your companion." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Send Sayyiduna al-Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) in to me." At this the Ansar said: "We adjure you by Allah regarding our share in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So they called in a man from among the Ansar who was called Sayyiduna Aws bin Khawli (may Allah be pleased with him); he was carrying a water jar in one of his hands. Then they heard a voice from inside the house: "Do not remove the clothing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); wash him just as he is, in his shirt." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) washed him (peace and blessings be upon him); he would put his hand under the shirt, while Sayyiduna al-Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him) held the cloth (lifted) away from him (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Ansari Companion was bringing the water; and on Sayyiduna Ali's (may Allah be pleased with him) hand there was a piece of cloth, and he would put his hand under the shirt.
