1618. It was narrated that 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Abdullāh said: "I asked 'Aishah: 'O mother! Tell me about the sickness of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.' She said: 'He felt pain and started to spit
(over his body), and we began to compare his spittle to the spittle of a person eating raisins. Like a person eating raisins and spitting out the seeds. He used to go around among his wives, but when he became ill, he asked them permission to let him stay in the house of 'Āishah and that they should come to him in turns.' She said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me, (supported) between two men, with his feet making lines along the ground. One of them was 'Abbās. I told Ibn 'Abbās this Hadith and he said: 'Do you know who the other man was whom 'Āishah did not name? He was 'Ali bin Abu Tālib.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
He ﷺ was breathing fast as one blows over something, it was due to his suffering from his temperature. The Mother of the Believers 'Āishah ﷺ meant by this, an explanation of the Prophet's suffering from severe illness.
When the Prophet's moving from one home to another became difficult due to the severe illness, he stayed at one home with the permission of all his wives, and during this period, his wives were given equal opportunity to serve him.
This Hadith shows the virtue of 'Āishah ﷺ that her room was chosen for the Prophet's rest and after the death he was buried there.
At the mentioned incident, Fadl bin Abbās ﷺ supported the Prophet ﷺ from one side, and on the other side, was 'Ali ﷺ for a little distance, and then Usāmah ﷺ supported him for a little distance.
