Narrated Aisha (the wife of the Prophet):
“Allaah messenger (sallallahu alyhi wasallam) died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-‘Aliya). Umar stood up and said,
'By Allaah! Allaah’s messenger is not dead!’ Umar (later on) said, 'By Allaah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that.’ He said, 'Verily! Allaah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men.’
Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allaah’s messenger, kissed him and said, 'Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Allaah’s messenger), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allaah will never make you taste death twice.’
Then he went out and said, 'O oath-taker! Don’t be hasty.’ When Abu Bakr spoke, Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allaah and said,
'No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allaah, then Allaah is Alive and shall never die.’
Then he recited Allaah’s Statement:
(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die. [Qur'aan (39:30)
He also recited:
Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful. [Qur'aan (3:144)
