22. Rasoolullah Leaning On Something Other Than a Pillow

Anas Radiyallahu 'Anhu reports that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam became ill. For this reason he came out of his room With the support of Usaamah Radiyallahu 'Anhu, and led the Sahaaba in salaah. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam wore a Yamaani printed shawl at that time. Fadl bin 'Abbaas Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: "I came to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam at the time of his last illness before he passed away. A yellow band was fastened around the mubaarak head of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. I greeted him and after replying, he asked me to fasten the band tightly around his mubaarak head. I carried out his request. Thereafter Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam sat up, then stood up supporting himself on my shoulder, and entered the masjid". There is a detailed-incident in this hadith.
