Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the question about the death of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is it regarding the soul, the self, and the body?

Answer:
My brother, the Messenger is like the rest of us; he is a human being like other human beings, and he dies just as human beings die.
(30) Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die. (31) Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute.إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ
[Az-Zumar 39:30-31]
And Muhammad is only a Messenger.
and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heelsقد خلت من قبله الرسل افان مات او قتل انقلبتم على اعقابكم
Sunan Ibn Majah 1627Da’if (Darussalam)
The Messenger dies just as human beings die, but he is alive in his grave with a barzakh life. It is not like his life in this world; it is a life from the life of the Hereafter, and no one knows it except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
