The moment of death which our predecessors went through is no different from the one we will go through. Death is of course inevitable; and this implies that each one of us shall 'taste' it and 'drink' it.

This is a translation of volume five of Ibn Sa’d’s Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir. This concentrates on the Tabi’un – the generation after the Companions (RA) – who lived in Madina itself.

This is because the people of Madina confined themselves to following in the footsteps of the Prophet (SAAS) more than the people of any other region did.
