2698 - حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الصَّلَاةَ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ»

Commentary
a. Prayer on time is among the most important obligations in Islam, therefore, the Noble Prophet ﷺ at the time of his departure from this world, emphasized offering prayers regularly and on time. b. Slaves belong to the most destitute class of society, but Islam gave them respect and honor, and they held highly esteemed posts in Islamic society. Kingship of Slave Dynasty, in the subcontinent is a well-known example. c. The last word which can be deemed the last will of the Noble Prophet ﷺ was "O Allāh (with) the highest companions." d. As we make wills regarding worldly matters, in the same way, we ought to make wills concerning duties of the faith. e. The last words or last will of the Noble Prophet ﷺ are equally concerned and relevant to this world and the Hereafter.
