Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) part 43 :

Prophet Muhammad's(ﷺ) last days :

The health of the Prophet(ﷺ) grew worse. His(ﷺ) last days were remarkable for the calmness and peacefulness of his mind. He(ﷺ) was able, though weak and feeble, to lead the public prayers until within three days of his death. He(ﷺ) requested that he might be permitted to stay at 'Aisha's(radhi Allahu anha) house close to the mosque during his illness, an arrangement to which his other wives agreed. As long as his strength lasted, he(ﷺ) took part in the public prayers. The last time he(ﷺ) appeared in the mosque he addressed the assembly, after the usual prayers were over, in the following words: "O Muslims, if I have wronged anyone of you, here I am to answer for it; if I owe anything to anyone, all I may happen to possess belongs to you."

A man in the crowd rose and claimed three Dhirhams which he had given to a poor man at the request of the Prophet(ﷺ). They were immediately paid back with these words: "Better to embarrassed in this world than in the next." The Prophet(ﷺ) then prayed and implored Allah's mercy for those who had fallen in the oppression of their enemies. He(ﷺ) recommended to all his followers the observance of religious duties and the leading of a life of peace and goodwill. Then he(ﷺ) spoke with emotion and with a voice still so powerful as to reach beyond the outer doors of the mosque: "By the Lord in Whose hand lies the
soul of Muhammad as to myself, no man can lay hold on me in any matter; I have not made lawful anything excepting what Allah has made lawful; nor have I prohibited anything but that which Allah in His Book has prohibited."

Then turning to the women who sat close by, he(ﷺ) exclaimed: "O Fatimah, my, daughter, and Safia, my aunt, work you both that which acquire you acceptance with the Lord, for verily I have no power to save you in any wise." He(ﷺ) then rose and re-entered the house of Aisha(radhi Allahu anha).

In sha Allah, will be continued. {Ref : Stories of prophets by Ibn Kathir(rahimahullah)}
