Before the death of...

[muslim forever]

Before the demise of Hazrat Hasan (RA)

Before the demise of Hazrat Hasan (RA) some people came to visit him. They requested him to give them some lasting advice. He said: “After hearing three things from me you should leave me in solitude so that I could reach the place where I intend to go.

1. Act upon those actions first wherewith you instruct others to act upon.

2. Refrain from those matters first which you instruct other to refrain from.

3. Every step of yours is either beneficial for you (in leading you towards Jannah) or harmful for you (in leading you towards Jahannum). Hence think before lifting every step of yours as to where it is taking you.

Before the death of Ibne Idrees (RA)

Before the death of Ibne Idrees (RA) his daughter began crying. He said: “There is no reason to cry. I have completed the reading of four thousand Qurans in this house”.

Before the demise of Abu Bakr bin Ayyaash (RA)

Before the demise of Abu Bakr bin Ayyaash (RA) his sister began crying. He told her: “O Sister! There is no reason to cry. Your brother completed the full recitation of the Quran in that corner twelve thousand times”.

‘I have been crying in desire and longing for this day….’

A pious person was about to pass away. His wife began crying. He enquired: “Why are you crying?” She replied: “I am crying because of your separation. “He said: “Cry upon your own self. I have been crying in desire and longing for this day for the past forty two years”.

Before passing away, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib spoke as under:

O' people. Every one has to meet what he wishes to avoid by running away. Death is the place to which life is driving. To run away from it means to catch it. How many days did I spend in searching for the secret of this matter, but Allah did not allow save its concealment. Alas! It is a treasured knowledge.

As for my last will, it is that concerning Allah, do not believe in a partner for Him, and concerning Muhammad (p.b.u.h.a.h.p.), do not disregard his Sunnah. Keep these two pillars and burn these two lamps. Till you are not divided, no evil will come to you.

Every one of you has to bear his own burden. It has been kept light for the ignorant. Allah is Merciful. Faith is straight. The leader (Prophet) is the holder of knowledge. Yesterday I was with you; today I have become the object of a lesson for you, and tomorrow I shall leave you. Allah may forgive me and you.

If the foot remains firm in this slippery place, well and good. But if the foot slips, this is because we are under the shade of branches, the passing of the winds and the canopy of the clouds whose layers are dispersed in the sky, and whose traces disappeared in the earth. I was your neighbour. My body kept you company for some days and shortly you will find just an empty body of mine which would be stationary after (all its) movement and silent after speech so that my calmness, the closing of my eyes, and the stillness of my limbs may provide you counsel, because it is more of a counsel for those who take a lesson (from it) than eloquent speech and a ready word.

I am departing from you like one who is eager to meet (someone). Tomorrow you will look at my days, then my inner side will be disclosed to you and you will understand me after the vacation of my place and its occupation by someone else.
