**“I’m sorry, my father is ill,” said Fatimah turned her body back and closed the door. **
She went back to her father who had opened his eyes and asked Fatimah, “Who was he, my daughter?” “I don’t know, my father. It was the first time for me to see him,” Fatimah said gently. Then, Rasulullah looked at his daughter with trembled look, as if he wanted to reminisce about every part of her daughter’s face. "Know one thing! He is who erases the temporary pleasure; he is who separates the companionship in the world.
**
He is the death angel," said Rasulullah .
**Fatimah bore the bomb of her cry. The death angel came toward him,
**
]But Rasulullah asked why Jibril did not come along with him.
**Then, Jibril was called. Jibril was ready in the sky to welcome the soul of
Habibullah and the leader of the earth.
“O Jibril, explain me about my rights in front of ALLAH?” Rasulullah asked
with a weakest voice. “The doors of sky has opened, the angels are waiting for your soul.”
**“All jannats open widely waiting for you,” Jibril said. ** But, in fact, those all did not make Rasulullah relieve, his eyes were still full of worry.
**“You are not happy to hear this news?” asked Jibril. ** “Tell me about the destiny of my people in future?” "Don’t worry, o Rasul ALLAH . I heard ALLAH told me: 'I make jannat haram
**for every one, except the people of Muhammad are inside it," Jibril said. ** It became closer and closer, the time for Malaekat Izrail to do his work. Slowly, Rasulullah’s soul was pulled. It was seemed that the body of Rasulullah was full of sweat; the nerves of his neck became tight. “Jibril, how pain this sakaratul maut is!” Rasulullah :saw: uttered a groan slowly. Fatimah closed her eyes, Ali sat beside her bow deeply and Jibril turned his face back. “Am I repugnant to you that you turn your face back o Jibril?” Rasulullah :saw: asked to the Deliverer of Wahyu. “Who is the one who could see the Habibullah in his sakaratul maut,” Jibril said. Not for a while, Rasulullah :saw:uttered a groan because of unbearable pain. "O ALLAH, how greatest is this sakaratul maut. Give me all these pains,
**don’t to my people." ** The body of Rasulullah :saw: became cold, his feet and chest did not move anymore. His lips vibrated as if he wanted to say something, Ali took his ear close to Rasulullah :saw:. "Uushiikum bis shalati, wa maa malakat aimanuku - take care the saalat and take care the weak people among you."
**Outside the room, there were cries shouted each other, sahabah held each ** other. Fatimah closed her face with her hands and, again, Ali :saw:took his ear close to Rasulullah’s :saw: mouth which became bluish. “Ummatii, ummatii, ummatii?” - “My people, my people, my people.” And the life of the noble man ended
in today's age we can never find some body loving as him all of us are fighting over stupid things acussing each other unneccerilly well may Allah guide all of us to the right path (ameen)
This moved me and made me teary eyed..

we should be ashamed of the state we are in
how would we ever explain ourselves for letting things get this way and letting them get worse
Not to sound ‘sectarian’ - the above narration is at variance with authenticated sources.
Sister ume-zafeerah, could you please give the reference for your posting?
Narration below is from: Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (THE SEALED NECTAR)
*A Day before his Death
On Sunday, a day before he died, the Prophet [pbuh] set his slaves free, paid as a charity the seven Dinars he owned and gave his weapons as a present to the Muslims. So when night fell ‘Aishah had to borrow some oil from her neighbour to light her oil-lantern.
Even his armour was mortgaged as a security with a Jew for thirty Sa‘(a cubic measure) of barley.
The Last Day Alive
In a narration by Anas bin Malik, he said: “While the Muslims were performing the dawn prayer on Monday — led by Abu Bakr, they were surprised to see the Messenger of Allah [pbuh] raising the curtain of ‘Aishah’s room. He looked at them while they were praying aligned properly and smiled cheerfully. Seeing him, Abu Bakr withdrew to join the lines and give way to him to lead the prayer. For he thought that the Prophet [pbuh] wanted to go out and pray.” Anas said: “The Muslims, who were praying, were so delighted that they were almost too enraptured at their prayers. The Messenger of Allah [pbuh] made them a gesture to continue their prayer, went into the room and drew down the curtain.” [ibid 2/640]
The Messenger of Allah [pbuh] did not live for the next prayer time.
When it was daytime, the Prophet [pbuh] called Fatimah and told her something in a secret voice that made her cry. Then he whispered to her something else which made her laugh. ‘Aishah enquired from her after the Prophet’s death, as to this weeping and laughing to which Fatimah replied: “The first time he disclosed to me that he would not recover from his illness and I wept. Then he told me that I would be the first of his family to join him, so I laughed.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/638]
He gave Fatimah glad tidings that she would become the lady of all women of the world. [Rahmat-ul-lil’alameen 1/282]
Fatimah witnessed the great pain that afflicted her father. So she said: “What great pain my father is in!”. To these words, the Prophet [pbuh] remarked:
“He will not suffer any more when today is over.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/641]
He asked that Al-Hasan and Al-Husain be brought to him. He kissed them and recommended that they be looked after. He asked to see his wives. They were brought to him. He preached them and told them to remember Allah. Pain grew so much severe that the trace of poison he had at Khaibar came to light. It was so sore that he said to ‘Aishah: “I still feel the painful effect of that food I tasted at Khaibar. I feel as if death is approaching.” [ibid 2/637] He ordered the people to perform the prayers and be attentive to slaves. He repeated it several times. [ibid 2/637]
The Prophet [pbuh] breathes his Last
When the pangs of death started, ‘Aishah leant him against her. She used to say: One of Allah’s bounties upon me is that the Messenger of Allah [pbuh] died in my house, while I am still alive. He died between my chest and neck while he was leaning against me. Allah has mixed his saliva with mine at his death. For ‘Abdur Rahman — the son of Abu Bakr — came in with a Siwak (i.e. the root of a desert plant used for brushing teeth) in his hand, while I was leaning the Messenger of Allah [pbuh] against me.
I noticed that he was looking at the Siwak, so I asked him — for I knew that he wanted it — “Would you like me to take it for you?” He nodded in agreement. I took it and gave it to him. As it was too hard for him, I asked him “Shall I soften it for you?” He nodded in agreement. So I softened it with my saliva and he passed it (on his teeth).
In another version it is said: “So he brushed (Istanna) his teeth as nice as he could.” There was a water container (Rakwa) available at his hand with some water in. He put his hand in it and wiped
his face with it and said: “There is no god but Allah. Death is full of agonies.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/640]
As soon as he had finished his Siwak brushing, he raised his hand or his finger up, looked upwards to the ceiling and moved his lips. So ‘Aishah listened to him. She heard him say: “With those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace with the Prophets and the Truthful ones (As-Siddeeqeen), the martyrs and the good doers. O Allah, forgive me and have mercy upon me and join me to the Companionship on high.” [ibid 2/638-641]
Then at intervals he uttered these words: “The most exalted Companionship on high. To Allah we turn and to Him we turn back for help and last abode.” This event took place at high morning time on Monday, the twelfth of Rabi‘ Al-Awwal, in the eleventh year of Al-Hijrah. He was sixty-three years and four days old when he died.*

I just got this mail from my freind and i dont know the rest but what u have mentioned about RAhikul makhtoom its true and i have read that
JAZZAKALLAH KHER
When I was a young boy (around a decade ago), my Grandmother told me about my Grandfather's last few days before he passed away. She said that he used to dream every night that he was in his bedroom, and some unknown person would come knock on his door. As he opened the door, the person would ask, 'mai aa jaoo?' (may I come?), but he would say 'No' (everytime the dream occured). He'd tell my Grandma about it everytime the dream occured, and became a bit disturbed of having the same dream again & again. Then he told her that he would say 'Yes' to that person in the dream, the next time he dreams it. The night after he said this, he passed away.
