3891. 'Ikrimah said: "After Ṣalāt Aṣ-Ṣubh, it was said to Ibn 'Abbās that so-and-so – one of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ – has died, so he prostrated. So it was said to him: 'Do you prostrate at this hour?' So he said: 'Has not the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ [already] said: 'If you see a sign then prostrate?' Then which sign is greater than the passing of (one of) the wives of the Prophet ﷺ?"' (Ḥasan)

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ said that he was a cause of peace for his Companions and his

The honorable wives of the Prophet ﷺ have dual relationship with him, as wives and as close companions; therefore, their death was a great loss and greater danger to the peace of the society. His honorable wives were a great source of direct information for solutions to problems.
