Visiting the Ill
Hisham reported that his father ('Urwa ibn az-Zubayr) said, "'Abdullah
ibn az-Zubayr and I went to visit Asma' ten nights before 'Abdullah was
killed. Asma' was in pain and 'Abdullah asked her, 'How are you feeling?'
'In pain,' she replied. He said, 'I am near death.' She said, 'Perhaps
you desire my death and that is the reason you desire it? Do not do that.
By Allah, I do not want to die until I reach one of the two ends: either
you will be killed and I will leave you to Allah or you will win and I
will be content. Beware of having your portion presented to you and then
you do not agree with it. Accept it, even though you dislike death."
