Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: WhenAllāh's Messenger ﷺ was in good health, heused to say, "Never does a Prophet die unlesshe is shown his place in Paradise (before hisdeath), and then he is given life or givenoption." When the Prophet ﷺ became illand his last moments came while his head wason my thigh, he became unconscious, andwhen he came to his senses, he lookedtowards the roof of the house and thensaid, "O Allāh! (Please let me be) with thehighest companions." Thereupon I said,"So, he is not going to stay with us!" ThenI came to know that his state was theconfirmation of the narration he used tomention to us while he was in good health.

4437 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْبَضْ نَبِيٌّ قَطُّ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ يُحَيَّا أَوْ يُخَيَّرَ، فَلَمَّا اشْتَكَى وَحَضَرَهُ القَبْضُ وَرَأْسُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِ عَائِشَةَ غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ شَخَصَ بَصَرُهُ نَحْوَ سَقْفِ البَيْتِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ فِي الرَّفِيقِ الأَعْلَى» فَقُلْتُ: إِذًا لاَ يُجَاوِرُنَا، فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ حَدِيثُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ
