The Prophet's Weakness During Illness

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was so weak during his illness that he had to be supported by two people while walking. One of them was 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib and the other one was 'Ali.

'A'isha, the wife of the Apostle , said: When the Messenger of Allah fell ill and his illness became serious, he asked permission from his wives to stay in my house during his illness. They gave him permission to do so. He stepped out (of'A'isha's apartment for prayer) supported by two persons. (He was so much weak) that his feet dragged on the ground and he was being supported by 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib and another person'.Ubaidullah said: I informed 'Abdullah (b'.Abbas) about that which 'A'isha had said'.Abdullah b. 'Abbas said: Do you know the man whose name 'A'isha did not mention? He said: #Ibn 'Abbas said: It was 'Ali.
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ قَالَتْ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَاشْتَدَّ بِهِ وَجَعُهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ أَزْوَاجَهُ أَنْ يُمَرَّضَ فِي بَيْتِي فَأَذِنَّ لَهُ فَخَرَجَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ تَخُطُّ رِجْلاَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ بَيْنَ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ ‏.‏ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَأَخْبَرْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بِالَّذِي قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقَالَ لِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَنِ الرَّجُلُ الآخَرُ الَّذِي لَمْ تُسَمِّ عَائِشَةُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هُوَ عَلِيٌّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the time when the Prophet Muhammad fell ill and his illness became serious. He asked permission from his wives to stay in A'isha's house during this time, which they granted him permission for. When it came time for prayer, he stepped out with two people supporting him as he was too weak to walk on his own; these two people were Abbas b.'Abd al-Muttalib and Ali ibn Abi Talib. This hadith shows us how even though the Prophet Muhammad was a great leader, he still faced sickness like any other human being does; however, despite this weakness due to sickness, he still made sure to fulfill his religious obligations such as prayer even if it meant having others support him while doing so. It also teaches us that we should always strive to fulfill our religious obligations no matter what our physical condition may be at any given moment in life; we should never give up on fulfilling our duties towards Allah SWT just because of physical weakness or sicknesses that come our way in life.
