He said:Abu Ubaidullah Muhammad b. Imran al-Marzbani reported to me from Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Jawhari, who reported from al-Hasan b. Aleel al-Anzi, who reported from Abdul Karim ibn Muhammad b. ALI, who reported from Muhammad b. ALI, who reported from Muhammad b. al-Manqar, who reported from Ziyad b. al- Munzir, who reported from Sharjeel, from Umm al-Fadhl b. al Abbas, who said:
When the MESSENGER of ALLAH (SWT), peace be upon him and his progeny, fell seriously ill in his last days, he once woke up while we were crying around him. So he said: "What makes you cry?"
We said: "O PROPHET of ALLAH (SWT), we are crying helplessly, we cry because you will soon leave us behind, and the heavenly news will cease to come to us. And we cry over the fate of the Ummah after you have gone."
The PROPHET (SAWW) , peace upon him and his progeny said: "Be it clear to you that you will be suppressed and weakened after I have gone."
