    وَعَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ: قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فِينَا خَطِيبًا بِمَاءٍ يُدْعَى: خُمًّا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَوَعَظَ وَذَكَّرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: ” أمَّا بعدُ أَلا أيُّها النَّاس فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنِي رَسُولُ رَبِّي فَأُجِيبَ وَأَنَا تَارِكٌ فِيكُمُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ: أَوَّلُهُمَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ فِيهِ الْهُدَى وَالنُّورُ فَخُذُوا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَاسْتَمْسِكُوا بِهِ ” فَحَثَّ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَرَغَّبَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي» وَفِي رِوَايَة: «كتاب الله عز وَجل هُوَ حَبْلُ اللَّهِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى وَمَنْ تَرَكَهُ كَانَ عَلَى الضَّلَالَةِ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

    Zaid b. Arqam told that God’s messenger got up among them one day at a watering-place called Khumm between Mecca and Medina to address them. He praised and extolled God, gave a warning and a reminder, and then said, “To proceed: You people must understand that I am just human. My Lord’s messenger will soon come for me and I shall answer his summons, but I am leaving among you the two important things, the first of which is God’s Book which contains guidance and light, so study it and follow its commands closely.” Then when he had urged attention to God’s Book and commended it, he said, “Also my family. I remind you of your duty to God to care for my family; I remind you of your duty to God to care for my family.” A version has “God’s Book is God’s rope; he who follows it has guidance and he who abandons it is in error.” Muslim transmitted it.

    `A’isha said: We, the Prophet’s wives, were once with him when Fatima came along, her style of walking being indistinguishable from that of God’s messenger. When he saw her, he said, “Welcome, my daughter,” and made her sit down. He then said something privately to her and she wept bitterly, so when he saw her grief, he said something else privately to her and she began to laugh. When God’s messenger got up and left, I asked her what he had said to her privately, but she replied, “I am not one to publish God’s messenger’s secrets.” After his death I said, “I adjure you by my right over you to tell me,” And she replied, “Now I am agreeable. When he spoke privately to me about the first matter, he informed me that Gabriel was in the habit of going over the Quran with him once annually but that he had done it twice that year, so he felt his appointed time was near. He then told me to fear God and show endurance, for he was a good forerunner for me. I wept, and when he saw my distress, he spoke to me privately a second time saying, `Are you not pleased, Fatima, that you will be the chief lady among the female inhabitants of paradise (or, of the women of the believers)’?” A version has, “He spoke to me privately informing me that he would die of his pain, so I wept. He then spoke to me privately informing me that I would be the first member of his family to follow him, so I laughed.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
