The final illness of Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him)

On Wednesday, 28th Safar 11 A.H. Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) visited Baqee`-ul-Gharqad (graveyard in Madinah) where he made dua for the inmates of the graves. After returning from the graveyard, Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) experienced a headache and thereafter developed a fever, which lasted for thirteen days. In this condition Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) left this world.

During this sickness, according to his routine, Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed each night at a different wife’s house. When Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) fell extremely ill, he sought permission from the other azwaaj-e-mutahharaat (noble wives) to stay at Hadhrat Aa’ishah’s رضي الله عنها (may Allah be pleased with her) home. All the azwaaj-e-mutahharaat granted him permission.
