1619. It was narrated that 'Āishah said: "The Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge using the
following words: 'Adhhibil-ba's, Rabbin-nās, washfi Antash-shāfi, lā shifā'a illā shifā'uka, shifā'an la yughādiru saqaman (Take away the affliction, O Lord of mankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer and there is no healing but Your healing, a healing that leaves no sickness).' When the Prophet ﷺ fell sick with the sickness that would be his last, I took his hand and wiped it over his body and recited these words. He withdrew his hand from mine and said: 'O Allāh, forgive me and let me meet the exalted companions (i.e., those who occupy high positions in Paradise).' Those were the last words of his that I heard." (Sahih)

Commentary
Seeking Allāh's refuge with this supplication means the Prophet ﷺ would seek protection against illness and deliverance from Allāh with these words.
'The exalted companions' means the Prophets and the righteous people, who died before the Prophet ﷺ, and have entered Paradise, as the following Hadith made it clear.
