1620. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'There is no Prophet who fell sick but he was given the choice between this world and the Hereafter.' She said: 'When he became sick with the illness that would be his last, (his voice) became hoarse and I heard him say, "In the company of those on whom Allâh has bestowed His grace, of the Prophets, the true believers, the martyrs, and the righteous.”[1] Then I knew that he had been given the choice.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

1620 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ يَمْرَضُ إِلَّا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ» قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا كَانَ مَرَضُهُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ، أَخَذَتْهُ بُحَّةٌ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ» فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ خُيِّرَ

Commentary

This illness is the one that happened before the death of the Prophet. It did not mean the choice given at every time of sickness. The Verse that the Prophet recited at this occasion is about the saying 'let me meet the exalted companions' which had been explained.
