companions stood up (for the Prayer). He had asked them about him before standing, saying, "Who is

The angel of death was sent to Moses and when he went to him, Moses slapped him severely, spoiling
one of his eyes. The angel went back to his Lord, and said, "You sent me to a slave who does not want
to die." Allah restored his eye and said, "Go back and tell him (i.e. Moses) to place his hand over the
back of an ox, for he will be allowed to live for a number of years equal to the number of hairs coming
under his hand." (So the angel came to him and told him the same). Then Moses asked, "O my Lord!
What will be then?" He said, "Death will be then." He said, "(Let it be) now." He asked Allah that He
bring him near the Sacred Land at a distance of a stone's throw. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, "Were I
there I would show you the grave of Moses by the way near the red sand hill."

When the Prophet (ﷺ) became ill, some of his wives talked about a church which they had seen in
Ethiopia and it was called Mariya. Um Salma and Um Habiba had been to Ethiopia, and both of them
narrated its (the Church's) beauty and the pictures it contained. The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his head and said,
"Those are the people who, whenever a pious man dies amongst them, make a place of worship at his
grave and then they make those pictures in it. Those are the worst creatures in the Sight of Allah."
