Hadith text: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings…

عن عقبة بن عامر رضي الله عنه : أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خرج إلى قتلى أحد، فصلى عليهم بعد ثمان سنين كالمُوَدِّعِ للأحياء والأموات، ثم طلع إلى المنبر، فقال: «إني بين أيديكم فَرَط ٌوأنا شهيد عليكم وإن مَوْعِدَكُمُ الحَوْضُ، وإني لأنظر إليه من مقامي هذا، ألَا وإني لست أخشى عليكم أن تُشركوا، ولكن أخشى عليكم الدنيا أن تَنَافَسُوهَا» قال: فكانت آخر نظرة نَظَرْتُها إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم .
وفي رواية: «ولكني أخشى عليكم الدنيا أن تنافسوا فيها، وتَقْتَتِلوا فتَهْلِكوا كما هلك من كان قبلكم». قال عقبة: فكان آخر ما رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على المنبر.
وفي رواية قال: «إني فَرَطٌ لكم وأنا شهيد عليكم وإني والله لأنظر إلى حوضي الآن، وإني أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ خَزَائِنِ الأرض، أو مَفَاتِيحَ الأرض، وإني والله ما أخاف عليكم أن تشركوا بعدي، ولكن أخاف عليكم أن تَنَافَسُوا فيها».

Explanation of the hadith: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings…

Eight years after the battle of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) went out to the place where the martyrs of that battle are buried and supplicated for them. He then went up the stairs of the pulpit and made a speech as if bidding farewell to people. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told the people that:

- He was seeing his Cistern and he would precede them to it.

- He was a witness for them.

- His Ummah would possess the treasures of the earth.

- He did not fear that his Ummah would associate others with Allah in worship; rather, he feared something else, which the people are drawn to faster; that the worldly life would open up before them and that they then compete with each other for it and fight for it, so it destroys them as it destroyed the previous nations.

‘Uqbah ibn ‘Āmir (may Allah be pleased with him) concluded by saying that this was the last time that he saw the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit.
