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)

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.
