Bidding Farewell and Advising on the Eve of Departure for a Journey or
other Things
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya`qub
(Jacob) (saying), `O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of
Islam (as Muslims - Islamic Monotheism).' Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya`qub (Jacob)?
When he said unto his sons, `What will you worship after me?' They said, `We shall worship your Ilah (God -
Allah) the Ilah (God) of your fathers, Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma`il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac). One Ilah (God),
and to Him we submit (in Islam)'.''
(2:132,133)

Yazid bin Haiyan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went along with Husain bin Sabrah and `Amr
bin Muslim to Zaid bin Arqam (May Allah be pleased with them) and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him: "O
Zaid, you acquired great merits that you saw Messenger of Allah (PBUH), listened to his talk, fought by his side in
(different) battles, and offered Salat behind him. You have in fact earned great merits, Zaid! Could you then tell us
what you heard from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)?'' He said: "O my cousin! By Allah! I have grown old and
have almost spent up my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with
Messenger of Allah (PBUH), so accept what I narrate to you, and what I fail to narrate, do not compel me to narrate
that.'' He then said: "One day Messenger of Allah (PBUH) stood up to deliver a Khutbah at a watering place known
as Khumm between Makkah and Al-Madinah. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the Khutbah and
exhorted (us) and said, `
Amma Ba`du (now then)! O people, certainly I am a human being. I am about to receive a
messenger (the angel of death) from my Rubb and I, in response to Allah's Call, but I am leaving among you two
weighty things: the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and
adhere to it.'
He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said,
`The second are the members of my
household, I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family.'''
Commentary:
The Prophet (PBUH) told his Companions with reference to his human nature that he too could not
escape death because it was a grim reality. So he left his example to others with regard to making a will before
death. The Hadith points out the desirability of giving good counsel to one's family and friends, exhorting them to
observe uprightness and establish Faith, upon parting either for a journey or while one is on deathbed.

Malik bin Al-Huwairith (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We came to the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) when we were all young men of nearly equal age. We stayed with him for twenty days. He was extremely
kind and considerate. He perceived that we missed our families so he asked us about those we left behind, and we
informed him. Then he (PBUH) said,
"Go back to your families, stay with them, teach them (about Islam) and
exhort them to do good. Perform such Salat (prayer) at such a time and such Salat at such a time. When the time for
