However, the Prophet SAW asked them to sit down. Then said to Ukasyah, "O
Ukasyah, please whip me."
"O Messenger of Allah, when you squeezed my stomach, my stomach was open," said
Ukasyah.
At that moment, the Prophet SAW opened his clothes until his stomach was exposed.
The Muslims who saw it were very hysterical. Some cried until they asked Ukasyah to cancel
the intention of speeding the Messenger of God.
Seeing the stomach of the Prophet SAW, Ukasyah did not rush, but immediately
hugged the stomach tightly Rasulullah SAW.
"For the sake of my father and mother, who dares to take revenge on you, O Messenger
of Allah," said Ukasyah.
"Then say, do you want to repay or forgive me?" asked Rasulullah SAW.
"Indeed, I have forgiven you because I hope to get forgiveness from Allah on the Day
of Judgment," he replied.
Then Rasulullah said, "Who wants to see my friend in heaven later, look at this
grandfather.”
The Muslims who were in the Prophet's Mosque immediately surrounded Ukasyah and
kissed his forehead. Ukasyah is said to be lucky because he can be side by side with Rasulullah
SAW in heaven later.
After the hysterical event, Rasulullah SAW fell ill for 18 days. On Monday, Rasulullah
SAW passed away leaving the world.
