Beating and mourning by the wives of the Prophet (s) As narrated by al Tabari in History Volume 9 page 183 (English translation by Ismail Poonawala): Abbas narrates: I heard Ayesha saying The Messenger of ALLAH died on my bosom during my turn, I did not wrong anyone in regard to him. It was because of my ignorance and youthfulness that the Messenger of ALLAH died while he was in my lap. Then I laid his head on a pillow and got up beating my chest and slapping my face along with the women. Ibn Katheer al Nasibi in al Bidayah wa al Nihayah Volume 5 page 420 published by Nafees Academy Karachi records the event as follows: Rasulullah (s) died while he was in my lap. Then I laid his head on a pillow and got up beating my face along with other women.
