Whoever has any goods with me, let him come to me so that I may give them to him.

Whoever has any goods with me, let him come to me so that I may give them to him. Whoever has a debt which I owe him, let him inform me of it. People, between God and any man there is nothing by which (God) will give him better or by which God will keep away from him evil, except works (al-'amal). People, by Him who sent me as a prophet with truth, let no one claim nor anyone desire that there should be salvation without works through (God's) mercy.

If I had disobeyed, I would have been hurled down (to damnation). O God, have I conveyed (the message)?" He went down and led the people in a short prayer. He returned to his house. At that time, he was in the house of Umm Salama, may God be pleased with her. He remained there for a day or two. Then 'Aisha came to her to ask her to move him to her house so that she might undertake to nurse him. She had asked the wives of the Prophet about that and they had given her their permission.

Thus he, may God bless him and his family, was moved to the house in which 'Aisha lived. The illness remained with him for several days and grew more serious. At the time of the morning prayer, Bilal came while the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, was overcome by sickness.

(He asked:) "Do I call the prayer, may God have mercy on you?" The Apostle of God gave him permission to make his call and said: "Let one of the people pray before them, for I am too distracted by (the final hours of) my life." "Order Abu Bakr," 'Aisha said. "Order 'Umar," intervened Hafsa.

When the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, heard their words and saw the eagerness of each of them to exalt her own father and their discord about that, he said: "Have you put the shroud on the Apostle of God while he is still alive? Indeed you are like the mistresses of Joseph." Then he, peace be on him, rose hurriedly fearing that one of the two men would go forward (to lead the prayers). He had ordered them to go with Usama and he had had no idea that they would be disobedient.

However when he heard what he heard from 'Aisha and Hafsa, he knew that they had delayed in (obeying) his command. He hurried to prevent discord and remove doubt. He, blessings and peace be on him, arose despite the fact that he could barely lift himself off the ground through weakness. 'Ali b. Abi Talib, peace be on him, took his hand and al-Fadl b. al-'Abbas took the other. He leaned on them both and his feet dragged a trail along the ground because of his weakness.
