As Urwah lay dying his family asked him what he thought about his death, whereupon he replied, "It is a blessing which Allah, in His Favor, has given to me." Just before he passed away he asked his family to bury him beside those who had been martyred during the recent siege, and so it was that his dying request was granted.

Ka hor inta uu ummad taktay, ayuu weydiistay in uu qoyska inuu halkaas ku aaso oo ayan ku jirin kuwii la shahiiday intii lagu jiray go'doominta u danbeeyay, waxaana sidaasi darteed waxa ay aheyd in uucodsi u dhimanayaan la siiyey.
