[[w:Ali|Ali ibn Abi Ṭalib]], the fourth Rightly-guided [[Caliph]] of [[Islam]] (and also Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin) and some others took charge of washing Muhammad, but unlike others, he was washed with his cloths remaining on his body.
==The Aftermath==


{{Quote|{{Abudawud|20|3135}}|Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
===Muhammad's Eternal Erection===


By Allah, we did not know whether we should take off the clothes of the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) as we took off the clothes of our dead, or wash him while his clothes were on him. When they (the people) differed among themselves, Allah cast slumber over them until every one of them had put his chin on his chest.
[[w:Abu'l-Fida|Abu al-Fida]] (1273 – 1331 AD) was a Muslim geographer and historian, and according to Edward Gibbon's (1723 - 1794 AD) "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.":


Then a speaker spoke from a side of the house, and they did not know who he was: Wash the Prophet (peace be upon him) while his clothes are on him. So they stood round the Prophet (peace be upon him) and washed him while he had his shirt on him. They poured water on his shirt, and rubbed him with his shirt and not with their hands...}}

Mohammed. p. 140).}}


Ibn Hisham observed, “The apostle’s body did not present the appearance of an ordinary corpse.” (pg. 688) Aisha also noted that If she had known beforehand what she found out later, "none would have washed him except his wives".
In English, [[w:Ali|Ali ibn Abi Ṭalib]], the fourth Rightly-guided [[Caliph]] of [[Islam]] (and also Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin) had exclaimed upon seeing Muhammad's lifeless corpse: "'''O prophet, thy penis is erect unto the sky!'''"  


{{Quote|{{Abudawud|20|3135}}|Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
Unsurprisingly, this is one "[[Islam and Miracles|miracle of Islam]]" that you will not find proudly displayed or posted in the many Islamic da‘wah (preaching) websites or forums.


[...]Aisha used to say: If I had known beforehand about my affair what I found out later, none would have washed him except his wives.}}
Tabari does not mention Muhammad's erection, but does note that [[W:Umar|Umar ibn al-Khattab]], the second  Rightly-guided Caliph of Islam, initially refused to believe Muhammad had died. If what Abu al-Fida relates is true, who could blame Umar for his disbelief when the prophet displayed such strong signs of life?


[[w:Abu'l-Fida|Abu al-Fida]] (1273 – 1331 AD) was a Muslim geographer and historian. He relates that Muhammad suffered from a [[Priapism#Death Erection|death erection]]. From Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire":

Muhammad was washed ready for burial, but unlike others, he was washed with his cloths remaining on his body.

Finally, after a delay, he was buried quietly in the house in which he died, near the Mosque of the Prophet in [[Medina]].

==Conclusion==
One wonders; if Muhammad was the last prophet of [[Allah]], who according to Islamic beliefs is the creator of the world, how hard would it have been for this creator to have prevented Muhammad from being poisoned and his penis becoming erect at the time of his death? Did the last prophet of Allah, the pinnacle of humanity, not deserve a respectful death?
