The will of the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) on the night of his death


The will of the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) on the night of his death

In the name of god the most merciful

Praise be to Allah the lord of the worlds

And the blessing of Allah be upon Mohammed and his house hold the imams and the Mahdi’s

If we go back to the events that happened before the death of the congealed prophet Mohammad (PBUH) ... And specifically at the last Thursday that is known as the Thursday of disaster ( Calamity of Thursday ): we find the agreement between the entire nation that the prophet (PBUH) wanted to write a will and said bring me a pen and paper to write for you something that you shall never go astray after, and some of the companions and the people separated so the prophet (PBUH) got angry and told them leave. Tens of Ahadeeth reported the happening on the night of disaster in the books of the Suna and the community instead of the Shia’a books and the history books and here is a narration from the book of Al-Bokhari:



It was told from Ibrahim the son of Moses from Hashim from Mo’mer from Abd Allah the son of Abd Alrazag from Mo’mer from Al-Zahry from Ubaed Allah from Abd Allah from Ibn abbas god bless them said ((when the Prophet (PBUH) went and there were men in the house, one of which was Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, the prophet (PBUH) said: I will write a book that you will not go astray after. So Omar said: the prophet (PBUH) has been taken over by pain and you have the Qur’an, the book of Allah is enough. The people of the house differed and they disagreed to the matter. Some said: get closer, the prophet (PBUH) is going to write a book that you shall never go astray after. Some of them said what Omar said and after they started talking a lot of nonsense and the disagreement occurred in front of the prophet (PBUH), the prophet (PBUH) told them to leave)) Ubead Allah said that Ibn 3abas was saying that the disaster, the biggest disaster, is what happened between the prophet (PBUH) and between writing that book for them from the disagreements and rudeness.


Now the nation agreed that the prophet (PBUH)::

Wanted to write a will:
And the de******ion of the book or the testament that he was going to write is guaranteed from misguidance
The people disagreed and argued in front of the prophet (PBUH):
The prophet took them out of his house
And the disagreement of the nation:

Was the will written or not (there is no accurate narration that states that the will was not narrated) we say with its writing and it was written in the books
Or it was written but was not reached to us?!


With the agreement of the believers that the disaster was on Thursday and the prophet (PBUH) died on Monday Midday.

If the person is religious and has a book that is guaranteed for the nation from misguidance... And a person such as Omar tried to stop him... then had an opportunity that he has three days to fill out the book... will he leave it?

He will not leave it.... so how will the Master of the pious the prophet (PBUH) do that, and how can he be accused of not writing the will?



And if he did write it, is it not to be reached to us in the Divine gentleness since the fact that the prophet (PBUH) does not talk nonsense (He says only what God commands him to Say) and said that the book is guaranteed from misguidance?!

Then, the conclusion is what has passed:

the will was written
it is guaranteed from misguidance
it was reached to us from the books


Now if we searched all the books of the believers of all the different groups we will find out:

Only one will of the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) when death approached him. The will where he mentioned the successors after him, the twelve Imams and the twelve Mahdi’s in the book of Al-ghayba for the Sheikh Al-toosy page 150 ( and also in other books)



And here it is:


The Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him and his family) said to Ali Ibn Abi Taleb during the night of his death:

“O Father of Al Hassan, bring me a leaf and a paper”, and he dictated his will until he came to a position where he said "O Ali, there will be twelve Imams and after them there will be twelve Mahdi’s. You, O Ali, are the first of the twelve Imams, God has named you in his heavens Ali Al Mortada,The Prince of the believers, Grand truthful, the bright Farouq (Judge and differentiating between true and false), the trusted, and the Mahdi (rightly guided). These names may not be truly attributed to other than you. O Ali, you are my guardian on my own family, their living and their dead. My women, whom you maintain shall find me tomorrow, and whom you reject I am acquitted of her. I will not see her and she will not see me on the day of resurrection, and you are the successor (Khalifa) on my nation after me. If the day of death comes to you, hand it over to my son Hassan the very beneficial. Then if the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to my son Al Hussein, the Martyr, the Pure and the Assassinated. If the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, the master of the servants and worshipers Ali.If the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, Mohamed Al Baqir.If the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, Jaâfar Al Sadiq (the honest).If the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, Moussa Al Kadhim (The Patient).If the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, Ali Al Reda.If the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, Mohamed Al Thiqa (The Trustworthy).If the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, Ali Al Nasih (The Advisor). If the day death of comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, Al Hassan Al Fadil. If the day of death comes to him, let him hand it over to his son, Mohammed the Mandate of the Holy Family of Mohamad Peace be upon them all. These are the twelve Imams. Then there will be twelve Mahdi’s after them. then when Allah receiveth him, let him hand it over to his son, the first of the close ones, he has three names, one like mine and my Father’s: Abdollah (Servant of God), Ahmad and the third name is The Mahdi (the guided) and he is the first Believer”
