After praying at the burial site in June 632, Muhammad suffered a dreadful headache that made him cry in pain.{{sfn|Gabriel|2014|p=203}}{{sfn|Rodinson|2021|p=286}} He continued to spend the night with each of his wives one by one,{{sfn|Rodinson|2021|p=286–7}} but he fainted in [[Maymunah bint al-Harith|Maymunah]]'s hut.{{sfn|Glubb|2001|p=360}} He requested his wives to allow him to stay in [[Aisha]]'s hut. He could not walk there without leaning on [[Ali]] and [[Fadl ibn Abbas]], as his legs were trembling. His wives and his uncle [[Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib|al-Abbas]] fed him an Abyssinian remedy when he was unconscious.{{sfn|Rodinson|2021|p=287}} When he came to, he inquired about it, and they explained they were afraid he had [[pleurisy]]. He replied that God would not afflict him with such a vile disease, and ordered all the women to also take the remedy.{{sfn|Glubb|2001|p=361}} According to various sources, including {{transliteration|ar|[[Sahih al-Bukhari]]}}, Muhammad said that he felt his aorta being severed because of the food he ate at Khaybar.{{sfn|Katz|2022|p=147}}{{sfn|Glubb|2001|p=283}} On 8 June 632, Muhammad died. In his last moments, he reportedly uttered:

Historian Alfred T. Welch speculates that Muhammad's death was caused by Medinan fever, which was aggravated by physical and mental fatigue.{{sfn|Buhl|Welch|1993|p=374}}
