O Abu al-Hasan, how is the Messenger of Allah this morning? He said: He is feeling better …

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) came out of the house of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) during his final illness. ‘Ali, the son-in-law and paternal cousin of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the health of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that morning. This expresses the Companions' care, love, and concern for the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). They asked ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "How is the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) this morning?" ‘Ali said: "He is feeling better this morning, by the grace of Allah."
