مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 152
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
“The last glance I cast at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on a Monday. He drew aside the curtain while the people were praying behind Abū Bakr. I looked at his face and it was [as radiant] as a page of the Muṣḥaf. The people were about to move [as they thought he would join the prayer], but he motioned to them to stay where they were. Then he let the curtain fall, and he passed away before the end of that very day.”

Musnad Aḥmad 152
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «آخِرُ نَظْرَةٍ نَظَرْتُهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ، كَشَفَ السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ، فَأَرَادَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَتَحَرَّكُوا، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اثْبُتُوا، وَأَلْقَى السَّجْفَ، وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي آخِرِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ».

Chain: Aḥmad → Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna → Muḥammad ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī → Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him). Rijāl: (1) Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna al-Hilālī al-Makkī: thiqa ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām, d. 198 AH. (2) Muḥammad ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī al-Madanī: thiqa ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām, d. 124 AH. (3) Anas ibn Mālik: Companion, d. ca. 93 AH. Takhrīj: Al-Bukhārī (680) and (4448); Muslim (419); Aḥmad (12072). The Prophet ﷺ died on a Monday in Rabīʿ al-Awwal 11 AH. The narration is among the most affecting accounts of his final hours, given by one who had served him for a decade; the comparison of his face to a page of the Muṣḥaf conveys both its radiance and its stillness. Jurists also draw from it that the imāmate of Abū Bakr in those days was a proof of his precedence, and that the Prophet ﷺ signaled the congregation to remain in their prayer rather than break it.
