His passing
|
After
returning from Bukhara, Imam Bukhari decided to go to
Samarqand. He was still many miles from the city, when
he heard that the people there had two views about him.
So he decided to stay at a village called "Kharteng".
There, he made the following invocation one night after
the late-night prayer, saying: "O Allah, the Earth
despite its grandeur is becoming narrow and is troubling
me greatly. So take me back to You." After this
invocation, he became ill. Meanwhile, the people of
Samarqand sent a messenger to bring him there. Bukhari
got up and was ready to travel, but his strength gave
way. He began to invoke Allah at length, then he took to
his bed and his soul passed away to his Lord - may Allah
have mercy on him. An indescribable amount of
perspiration came out of him even after he consigned his
life to the Creator of life. When this abated, he was
shrouded. He died on the night of `Id al-Fitr, the first
night of Shawwal in the year 256 AH, at the age of 62
years.

Imam
Bukhari devoted his entire life, in the search for the
way of life given by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), in acting
upon his sayings and researching into this science. His
each and every action was a fragment of the way of the
Messenger.

Imam
Bukhari was not only a scholar, worshipper, a devotee
and a prosperous man, but he always feared Allah and
shone with the love of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). The
knowledge he gave to the world during his life is still
being given today and as the Muslim Nation goes about
its daily acts of worship, they realize how important
the role played by Imam Bukhari was. He used to spread
the Ahadith of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) everywhere he
goes and Allah spread his status to every corner of the
world.
