Abstract
Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH) became ill after he had returned to Medina from the Farewell Pilgrimage. He was suffering from headaches that sometimes became unbearable and a high fever. The health of Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH) suddenly deteriorated. According to ‘Ᾱisha Muḥammad (PBUH) said "La ilaha illallah, how hard it is to give away your soul!" in a low voice, and then he abandoned his soul in her arms saying "alrafῑq al-a‘la" (to the most divine friend). The death of Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH) deeply saddened all the ṣaḥᾱba. Indeed it was the first historical crisis faced by the Islamic community. So great was the love of the Companions for the Prophet that they could not part with their love. Many narations related to this great tragedy have been mentioned in the collection of ḥadith. This article provides an overview of these narations that either these are Ṣaḥiḥ or Ḍa‘ῑf.
