Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) Last part 44 :

The death of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him :

After this, the Prophet(ﷺ) never appeared at public prayers. A few hours after he(ﷺ) returned from the mosque, the Prophet(ﷺ) died while laying his head on the chest of Aisha(radhi Allahu anha). As soon as the Prophet's(ﷺ) death was announced, a crowd of people gathered at the door of the house of Aisha, exclaiming: "How can our messenger be dead?" Umar(radhi Allahu anhu) said: "No, he is not dead; he will be restored to us, and those are traitors(double dealers) to the cause of Islam who say he is dead. If they say so let them be cut in pieces."

But Abu Bakr(radhi Allahu anhu) entered the house at this moment, and after he had touched the body of the Prophet(ﷺ) with a demonstration of deep affection, he appear at the door and addressed the crowd with the following speech: "O Muslims, if anyone of you has been worshiping Muhammad, then let me tell you that Muhammad is dead. But if you really do worship Allah then know that Allah is living and will never die. Do you forget the verse in the Quran: "Muhammad is not more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn your back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah, and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful." (Surah Al-Imran 3:144 Quran).

Upon hearing this speech of Abu Bakr, 'Umar acknowledged his error, and the crowd was satisfied and dispersed. Al-Abbas, the Prophet's(ﷺ) uncle,holding authority at the preparation for the burial, and the body was duly washed and perfumed. There was some dispute between the Quraish and the Ansars as to the place of burial; however, Abu Bakr(radhi Allahu anhu) settled the dispute by affirming that he had heard the Prophet(ﷺ) say that a prophet(ﷺ) should be buried at the very spot where he died. A grave was accordingly dug in the ground within the house of Aisha and under the bed on which the Prophet(ﷺ) died. In this grave the body was buried, and the usual rites were performed by those who were present.

Thus ended the glorious life of that Prophet Muhammad.
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
