Excited about making a new migration to Allah and His messenger
Aisha (رضی الله عنها) tells of the time when her father Abu Bakr (رضی الله عنه) was sick on his deathbed. She expressed the excitement that her father felt at being reunited with his only friend, the Blessed Prophet ﷺ.
“One day when my father was on his deathbed, he asked: “What day is it today?”
“Monday”, we told him.
“Monday”, we told him.
“If I die tonight do not let me wait until tomorrow (to be buried). Because for me, the dearest of days and nights is that which is closest to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم (that is the moment when I will be reunited with him as soon as possible)’ (Ahmad, I, 8).
After the Prophet ﷺ passed away, Abu Bakr (رضی الله عنه) ever felt like a stranger in the world. Now that he was about to die he felt excited about making a new migration to Allah and His messengerﷺ.۔
