Uqba b. 'Amir reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Allah's Messenger offered prayer over those who had fallen matyrs at Uhud. He then climbed the pulpit as if someone is saying good-bye to the living and the dead, and then said: I shall be there as your predecesor on the Cistern before you, and it is as wide as the distance between Aila and Juhfa (Aila is at the top of the gulf of 'Aqaba). I am not afraid that you would associate anything with Allah after me, but I am afraid that you may be (allured) by the world and (vie) with one another (in possessing material wealth) and begin killing one another, and you would be destroyed as were destroyed those who had gone before you. 'Uqba said that that was the last occasion that he saw Allah's Massenger on the pulpit

وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا وهب، - يعني ابن جرير - حدثنا ابي قال، سمعت يحيى بن ايوب، يحدث عن يزيد بن ابي حبيب، عن مرثد، عن عقبة بن عامر، قال صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على قتلى احد ثم صعد المنبر كالمودع للاحياء والاموات فقال " اني فرطكم على الحوض وان عرضه كما بين ايلة الى الجحفة اني لست اخشى عليكم ان تشركوا بعدي ولكني اخشى عليكم الدنيا ان تنافسوا فيها وتقتتلوا فتهلكوا كما هلك من كان قبلكم " . قال عقبة فكانت اخر ما رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على المنبر
