English narration

Narrated by عائشة بنت أبي بكر الصديق

There was a leather or wood container full of water in front of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (at the time of his death). He would put his hand into the water and rub his face with it, saying, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! No doubt, death has its stupors." Then he raised his hand and started saying, "(O Allah!) with the highest companions." (See Qur'an 469) (and kept on saying it) till he expired and his hand dropped."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَمْرٍو ذَكْوَانَ مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ ، أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا كَانَتْ تَقُولُ : إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ رَكْوَةٌ أَوْ عُلْبَةٌ فِيهَا مَاءٌ ، يَشُكُّ عُمَرُ ، فَجَعَلَ يُدْخِلُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَاءِ ، فَيَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَيَقُولُ : "

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ سَكَرَاتٍ

" ، ثُمَّ نَصَبَ يَدَهُ ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ : " فِي الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى " ، حَتَّى قُبِضَ وَمَالَتْ يَدُهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ : الْعُلْبَةُ مِنَ الْخَشَبِ ، وَالرَّكْوَةُ مِنَ الْأَدَمِ .
