English translation
6510. Narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها: There was a leather or wood container full of water in front of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ (at the time of his death). He would put his hand into the water and rub his face with it, saying, “Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)! No doubt, death has its stupors.” Then he raised his hand and started saying, “(O Allāh!) with the highest companion” (and kept on saying it) till he expired and his hand dropped. [See Qur’an V.4:69.]
