And Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, Wahb—meaning ibn Jarir—narrated to us, my father narrated to us, he said: I heard Yahya ibn Ayyub narrating from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Marthad, from 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed over the martyrs of Uhud, then ascended the pulpit like one bidding farewell to the living and the dead, and said: "I am your forerunner at the Basin (al-Hawd), and indeed its width is like the distance between Aylah and al-Juhfah. I do not fear for you that you will associate partners with Allah after me, but I fear for you the world—that you will compete for it and fight one another, and perish as those before you perished." 'Uqbah said: That was the last time I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the pulpit.
