Last meeting with Muhammad
When Muhammad was sending Muadh to Yemen to teach the people about Islam, he personally bade farewell to him and walked for some distance alongside Muadh as he set out to leave the city. It is said Muhammad informed Muadh that on his return to Medina, he will perhaps see only his Masjid and grave. Upon hearing this, Muadh began to cry.
When Muadh returned to Medina, the Khalifa (Head of state) was Abu Bakr.
Ahadith transmitted by Muadh bin Jabal

Quotes by Muadh ibn Jabal
It is said that Muadh bin Jabal advised his son, "My son! Pray the prayer of he who is just about to leave and imagine that you might not be able to pray ever again. Know that the believer dies between two good deeds; one that he performed and one that he intended to perform later on." quote taken from Siffat as Safwah
