Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: “Do you people think that I will be the last among you to die? Be aware! In terms of death, I will be the first among you, then you will follow me in groups (congregations), some of you will kill others.”
