I went to them and found all of them weeping in their dwellings, and the Prophet (pbuh) had ascended to an upper room of his. At the door of the room there was a slave to whom I went and said, "Ask the permission for me to enter."

He admitted me and I entered to see the Prophet (pbuh) lying on a mat that had left its imprint on his side. Under his head there was a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. Behold! There were some hides hanging there and some grass for tanning.
