4451. Narrated 'Aishah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا The Prophet ﷺ expired in my house and on the day of my turn, leaning against my chest. One of us (i.e., the Prophet's wives) used to recite an invocation asking Allāh to protect him from all evils when he became sick. So I started asking Allāh to protect him from all evils. He raised his head towards the sky and said, "With the highest companions, with the highest companions." 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abū Bakr passed (in front of him) carrying a fresh Siwāk and the Prophet ﷺ looked at it and I thought that the Prophet ﷺ was in need of it (for cleaning his teeth). So I took it (from 'Abdur-Raḥmān) and chewed its head and shook it and gave it to the Prophet ﷺ who cleaned his teeth with it, in the best way he had ever cleaned his teeth, and then he gave it to me, and suddenly his hand dropped down or it fell from his hand (i.e., he expired). So Allāh made my saliva mix with his saliva on his last day on earth and his first day in the Hereafter.

4451 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِي، وَفِي يَوْمِي، وَبَيْنَ سَحْرِي وَنَحْرِي، وَكَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا تُعَوِّذُهُ بِدُعَاءٍ إِذَا مَرِضَ، فَذَهَبْتُ أُعَوِّذُهُ، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَقَالَ: «فِي الرَّفِيقِ الأَعْلَى، فِي الرَّفِيقِ الأَعْلَى»، وَمَرَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ جَرِيدَةٌ رَطْبَةٌ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ بِهَا حَاجَةً، فَأَخَذْتُهَا، فَمَضَغْتُ رَأْسَهَا، وَنَفَضْتُهَا، فَدَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ، فَاسْتَنَّ بِهَا كَأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانَ مُسْتَنًّا، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِيهَا، فَسَقَطَتْ يَدُهُ، أَوْ: سَقَطَتْ مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَجَمَعَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ رِيقِي وَرِيقِهِ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَأَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الآخِرَةِ
