Funeral prayer and burial of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Anas ibn Malik narrates that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I wish that I could meet my brothers.” The Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “Are we not your brothers?” He replied: “You are my Companions, but my brothers are those who will believe in me, without having seen me.” [Ahmad, Musnad]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If you are afflicted by anything, then seek strength from my death, because you will not be afflicted by anything that is worse than my death.” [Ibn Majah, Sunan]

Although there was a difference of opinion between the Companions (ra) as to where the Prophet (ﷺ) should be buried, it was settled by Abu Bakr when he said:“Truly, I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, ‘A prophet has never been taken [in death] except that he was buried in the spot where he was taken.’” [Ibn Majah, Sunan]

Imam al-Bukhari dedicates an entire chapter of his Sahih to describing the grave of the Prophet (ﷺ). Aisha (ra) said,“…Allah took him (in death, ﷺ) while he was lying against my chest [lit. between my sternum and the bottom of my throat], and he (ﷺ) was buried in my house.” [al-Bukhari, Sahih]

Ibn Abbas narrates:“… and when they were finished with preparing him on Wednesday (ﷺ)

[for burial]

, they placed him on his bed, in his house, and the people entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in small groups until they had finished; then they let in the women until they finished; then they let in the children, and no one led the people as an imam over the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)…” [Ibn Majah, Sunan]

Abu ‘Aseeb (ra) said, “I witnessed the funeral prayer on the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The people asked, ‘How should we pray on him?’ He (one Companion) said, ‘Enter, all of you, in small groups at a time.’… so they would enter from *this* door and pray, then leave through the other door…” [Ahmad, Musnad]

The clothes were left on out of respect, and nothing impure left his blessed body, so they shrouded him and ‘Ali said, “Allah’s blessing be upon you, you were pure in both life and death.” [al-Hakim, Mustadrak; Ahmad, Musnad].

A narration of Salim ibn `Ubayd (ra) reveals what was decided, when after describing the final sickness and passing away of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the confusion and shock that ensued, he ran to inform Abu Bakr (ra), who with the Prophet’s (ﷺ) permission was in a mosque near his wife’s home one mile away. Abu Bakr arrived, wept and kissed the Prophet’s (ﷺ) noble forehead. Salim narrates:“… [The people] asked in consternation, ‘Oh Companion of the Messenger of Allah! Has the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) really been taken away [in death]?’ Abu Bakr replied, ‘Yes…’ And the people knew he had told the truth. Then they asked, ‘Oh Companion of the Messenger of Allah! Is the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to be prayed over?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’They asked, ‘And how?’ Abu Bakr said, ‘A group of people enters, they recite their takbirs [4 times] and pray, and they supplicate, then they leave, then [another] group enters, recites the takbirs, prays, supplicates, and then they leave, until all the people have entered.’The people then asked, ‘Oh Companion of the Messenger of Allah! Is the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to be buried?’ ‘Yes.’ he replied. ‘Where?’ they asked. He answered, ‘In the place where Allah took his soul, for Allah did not take his soul except in a place that is pure.’ And the people knew he had spoken the truth. Then, Abu Bakr instructed them that his paternal relatives [and only them] should bathe him.’” [al-Tirmidhi, al-Shama’il]
