Explanation

Allah, Exalted and Glorified, increased the revelation that was sent down to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) before his death to complete the Shariah, up until the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) died at a time when the revelation was most abundant.

Explanation in Arabic

أكثر الله عز وجل من إنزال الوحي على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قبل وفاته؛ حتى تكمل الشريعة؛ حتى توفي الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم في وقت كثرة نزوله.

  • تكامل نزول الوحي قبل وفاته -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.
  • تتابع الوحي في آخر الرسالة بخلاف أولها حين انقطع فترة.

Authentic Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih al-Bukhari 4982

Allah sent down His Divine Inspiration to His Apostle continuously and abundantly during the period preceding his death till He took him unto Him. That was the period of the greatest part of revelation; and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died after that.

تَابَعَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَ الْوَحْىُ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدُ‏.‏

Authentic Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih Muslim 3016

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, sent revelation to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) just before his death in quick succession until he left for his heavenly home, and the day when he died, he received the revelation profusely.

أَنَّ اللَّهَ، عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَابَعَ الْوَحْىَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ وَأَكْثَرُ مَا كَانَ الْوَحْىُ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏
