After performing the farewell Hajj, Rasulullah 
left for Madinah. He wanted to say farewell to those martyrs who had laid
down their lives for the cause of Islaam. So he went to Uhad and made dua
for those who had achieved martyrdom and everlasting life. After his visit
to Uhad our beloved Nabi
visited the cemetery of the Muslims called "Jannatul Baqi" in Madinah and
made dua for their departed souls.
In the month of Muharram 11 A.H. he fell ill with fever which became
worse from day to day. When the illness became worse then Rasulullah
sought permission from his wives to spend his final days in the house of
Hazrat Ayesha (R.A.) The last Salaat that he could lead in Jama'at was
the Maghrib Salaat and when his health failed him he directed: "Let Abu
Bakr (R.A.) lead the prayer". Rasulullah
's house was adjoining Masjid-e-Nabwi and from his house he saw the Muslims
engaged in Salaat. This pleased the Rasool
of Allah very much. The health of our Nabi
got worse and on Monday, 12th Rabiul-Awwal 11A.H. the greatest leader of
mankind passed away.
Hazrat Fadal bin Abbas (R.A.) Hazrat Ali (R.A.), Hazrat Usama (R.A.) gave the body a ghusal (bath) and it was lowered into the grave in the very apartment of his wife Hazrat Bibi Ayesha (R.A.) where he breathed his last.
