- His death
He fell ill at the beginning of Rabīʿ al-Awwal in the year 241 AH and passed away on the night preceding Friday, the twelfth of that month. When death approached he motioned to his family to perform ablution for him; they began to wash him while he signalled, “Interlace my fingers,” all the while remembering Allah. Once they had completed his ablution, he breathed his last—may Allah be pleased with him.
They washed him again, shrouded him in a cloth his maidservant had spun, and the people carried his bier out while crowds surrounded it in numbers known only to Allah. The funeral prayer was offered for him, then repeated at the graveside; it was performed a third time after he had been buried. Because of the immense gathering, his body was not finally laid to rest until after the ʿAṣr prayer.
Those who prayed over him and accompanied him to his grave were estimated at one million; another report puts the figure at one million seven hundred thousand. May Allah shower abundant mercy upon Imām Aḥmad, reward him on behalf of Islam and the Muslims with the finest reward, and join him with those upon whom Allah has bestowed His favor—the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous. Excellent indeed are such companions. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muḥammad, his family, and his Companions.
