1465. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came back from Al-Baqi' and I had a headache and was saying: 'O my head!' He said: 'Rather, I should say, O my head, O 'Aishah!' Then he said: 'It will not matter if you were to die before me, for I will take care of you, wash you, shroud you, offer the funeral prayer for you and bury you.'" (Da'if)
1465 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْبَقِيعِ، فَوَجَدَنِي وَأَنَا أَجِدُ صُدَاعًا فِي رَأْسِي، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: وَا رَأْسَاهُ، فَقَالَ: «بَلْ أَنَا يَا عَائِشَةُ وَا رَأْسَاهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَا ضَرَّكِ لَوْ مِتِّ قَبْلِي، فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْكِ، فَغَسَّلْتُكِ، وَكَفَّنْتُكِ، وَصَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْكِ، وَدَفَنْتُكِ»

This incident happened on Monday 29th of Safar 11H. (Ar-Rahiq Al-Makhtum, p. 624). It was the beginning of the disease from which Allāh's Messenger ﷺ passed away. Talking about physical ailment is not contrary to trust in Allāh and being satisfied with one's destiny. A husband is allowed to wash his wife's dead body, and he is also allowed to shroud her.
