When Muhammad (saw) saw her in the throes of death he consoled her saying, Allah swt had so ordained it, and that the thing she was dreading, would prove favorable fpr her.
Her eyes lit up and as she gazed at her beloved husband, her soul left her earthly body.
The Prophet (saws) buries his beloved wife
Khadija’s ra, grave was prepared at a place called Hujjoon near Makkah.
Muhammad saws stepped into the grave to see everything was as it should be, and with his own hands lowered her gently into it.
Thus passed away the mother of all Muslims, the one who had sacrificed her all for Islam.
Inna Lillaahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Rajioon.
When the Prophet (saw) was asked about his grief he replied.
He (saw), replied, “ it is only natural that i should bbe touched by her absence, as she had been a loving mother to my now neglected children: she had been a loyal and sympathetic wife who shared my secrets. I was only human and natural that I should feel her loss as she was there for me during my most difficult times.
His (saw), love for her showed in his actions after her (ra), death
A companion of the Prophet saws, narrates that whenever any gift was brought to him saws, he would immediately send it to some lady who had been friend of Khadija ra
Aishah ra, narrates; “ whenever a goat was slaughtered the Prophet saws, would send some meat to Khadija’s ra, friends; when she remarked about this on one occasion he told her, “I have great regard for her friends, as she has a special place in my heart”.
Aishah narrates, whenever Muhammad saws spoke of Khadija ra, he would talk at great length and praise her qualities, and pray for her forgiveness.
As Allah swt says in Surah Al-Fajr (89:27-30)
“O the one in complete rest in satisfaction! come back to your lord-well pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing
(unto him)! Enter you them among My (honored) servants, and enter you My Paradise” (89:27-30)
