The Companion 'Abdullāh bin al S'ad asking of a good ending. O Allāh grant us a good ending


Asking for A Good Ending

S’ad bin Abi Ayoob: Yazeed bin Abi Habeeb informed me that when Ibn Abi Sarh was about to die he was in Ar Ramlah; it is where he fled to from the fitnah. He started to say during the night, ‘Have you reached the dawn?’ so they said, ‘No.’ so when it was the time of dawn. He said, ‘O Hishaam verily I feel the coolness of the dawn so go and look, then he said,

‘O Allaah make the last of my actions the Dawn prayer.’

Then he performed the ablution, then he prayed  reciting in the first rak’ah the mother of the book (sooratul Faatihah) and al’Aadiyaat; and in the other mother of the book and a soorah with it. Then he turned to his right saying the tasleem and when he began to turn to his left his soul was taken; may Allaah be pleased with Him.
