English translation
[6295] 86 - (...) It was narrated that ‘Āishah said: “I used to hear that no Prophet ever died until he had been given the choice between this world and the Hereafter. I heard the Prophet ﷺ, during the sickness of which he died, saying with some gruffness in his voice: ‘In the company of those on whom Allāh has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Ṣiddīqīn, the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!’” She said: “And I thought that he had been given the choice at that point.”
