Hadith 255

Rasool-Allah-saww, and my-asws uncle-asws Hamza-asws, and my-saww brother-asws Ja’far-asws and his-asws companions of Rasool-Allah-saww, and all of them-asws are saying: ‘Hasten your-asws arrival to us-asws for we-asws are desirous to see you-asws! ’
Then he-asws turned his-asws eyes among his-asws family members, all of them, and said: ‘I-asws entrust you all to Allah-azwj! May Allah-azwj Guide you all! May Allah-azwj Protect you all! My-asws Caliph (replacement) upon you all is Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj Suffices as a replacement’. Then he-asws said: ‘And upon you-asws all be the greetings, O Rasools-as of my-asws Lord-azwj! ’
Then he-asws said: ‘For the like of this, so let the workers be working [37: 61] Surely Allah is with those who are pious and those who are good doers [16: 128], and his-asws forehead was sweating, and he-asws was mentioning Allah-azwj a lot. And he-asws did not cease to mention Allah-azwj a lot and testifying the two testimonies. Then he-asws faced towards the Qiblah and closed his-asws eyes and extended his-asws legs and his-asws hands and said: ‘I-asws testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone. There is no associate for Him-azwj. And I-asws testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww’. Then he-asws fulfilled his-asws vow (expired) and his-asws expiry was during the night of the twenty-first of the month of Ramazan, and it was the night of Friday of the year forty from the Emigration’. He (the narrator) said, ‘During that, Zainab-asws Bint Ali-asws, and Umm Kulsoom-asws, and the entirety of his-asws wives shrieked, and they tore the pockets and slapped the cheeks, and the shouting was raised in the house. So, the people of Al-Kufa came to know that Amir Al-Momineen-asws had passed away. So, the women and the men came sprinting in droves and droves and shouted loud shouts. Al-Kufa was turbulent with its inhabitants, and frequent the crying and the lamenting, and there was a lot of clamour at Al-Kufa and its tribes, and its houses, and entirety of its outskirts. That day was like the day Rasool-Allah-saww had passed away. When the night darkened, the horizons of the sky changed, and the earth was trembling, and the entirety of the ones upon it were crying him-asws, and we were hearing noises and glorification in the air. So, we knew that these were the voices of the Angels. It did not cease to be like that up to the emergence of dawn. We knew during that, that the skies and the earth, and the Angels and the Jinn and the human beings had cried and had eulogised him-asws during that night, and we heard loud noises in the air, and glorifications, and extolling of Holiness, and we knew that these were the voices of the Angels. It did not cease to be like that until the morning appeared. Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiya said, ‘Then we took to his-asws (funeral) preparation at night, and Al-Hassan-asws was washing him-asws and Al-Husayn-asws was pouring the water upon him-asws, and he-asws was not needy for anyone to turn him-asws, but he-asws was turning himself-asws to what the washer intended, right and left, and his-asws aroma was more aromatic than the aroma of musk and ambergris. Then Al-Hassan-asws called out to his-asws sisters-asws (Syeda) Zainab-asws and (Syeda) Umm Kulsoom-asws and said: ‘O sisters-asws! Bring me-asws the embalmment of my-asws grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-saww! ’ (Syeda) Zainab-asws rushed quickly until she-asws came with it to him-asws. The reporter said, ‘When he-asws opened it, the entirety of Al-Kufa and its streets felt it due to the intensity of the aroma of that perfume (embalmment). Then he-asws wrapped him-asws in five clothes like what he-asws had instructed with. Then he-asws placed him-asws upon the bier, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husay
