The final days of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: his last time on the pulpit, the words that made Abu Bakr weep, and the advice he left for his Ummah. In Seerah Class #104, we continue the story of the Prophet's ﷺ final illness, from the sermon five days before his death to the three pieces of advice he gave near the end. The class also addresses how some of these hadiths have been misunderstood and misused today. In this class: • Why the Prophet ﷺ asked for seven water skins, and the role of seven in ruqyah • The servant given a choice between this world and what is with Allah • Why Abu Bakr wept, and what "close all the doors" pointed to • The Prophet's ﷺ advice about the Ansar and his defence of Usama ibn Zayd • The letter on Thursday, and why the conspiracy claims around it are false • The meaning of expelling the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula • Why this ruling belongs to those in authority, not individuals, and why extremists are wrong to act on it • The sanctity of non-Muslims who enter a country under a covenant • Visiting graves, including the scholarly discussion on women visiting • Mosques and graves: what the hadiths say and the rulings on praying there • How excessive love of pious people can lead to shirk, and why tawheed must come first The class ends with a Q&A on graves, shrines, and praying behind an imam known for innovation. 00:00 Recap: the Prophet's ﷺ final illness 01:44 "Pour seven water skins over me" 02:31 Why seven: worship or treatment? 03:55 Uthman ibn Abi al-As and the dua for pain 05:18 The Prophet ﷺ goes to the pulpit for the last time 06:08 The servant given a choice 07:17 Why Abu Bakr wept 09:15 "Close all the doors except Abu Bakr's" 11:18 The Prophet's ﷺ advice about the Ansar 14:22 Defending Usama ibn Zayd's leadership 16:35 The Thursday letter 17:50 Umar's concern and the dispute in the room 19:40 Refuting the conspiracy claims 21:17 Lessons: writing knowledge and the cost of dispute 21:58 Three final pieces of advice 22:22 First: expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula 23:18 Who carries this out?
