Hadith Commentary:
There was no need for this heading here; rather, it belongs at the end of the Book of Maghazi, as Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established a separate heading: 86 regarding this matter.
Here, the intention was to mention your noble names and your attributes, and among the People of the Book it was also well-known that among all the attributes of the Prophet of the Last Age, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, one was that his age would be sixty-three years.
It is in this context that Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has mentioned this heading and the hadith cited under it.
Other discussions related to the passing (wafat) will be presented later,
by the permission of Allah, the Exalted.
