When the Prophet (p.b.u.h) died, his head was on my chest, and his last breath blew over my palms and I passed it over my face. I performed his (funeral) ablution, may Allah bless him and his descendants, and the Angels helped me. The house and the courtyard were full of them. One party of them were descending and the other was ascending. My ears continually caught their humming voice, as they invoked Allah's blessings on him, until we buried him in his grave.
