Hadith #404
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْبَضْ نَبِيٌّ قَطُّ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ
ثُمَّ يَحْيَا فَلَمَّا اشْتَكَى وَحَضَرَهُ الْقَبْضُ وَرَأْسُهُ عَلَى فَخْذِ عَائِشَةَ غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ شَخَصَ بَصَرُهُ نَحْوَ سَقْفِ الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ الرَّفِيقَ الْأَعْلَى قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ حَدِيثُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet ﷺ fell ill and death approached him, his head was resting on her thigh, and he fell unconscious. When he regained consciousness, his gaze was fixed toward the ceiling of the house, then he said: "O Allah, the Most Exalted Companion." Aisha said: "I knew then it was the saying he used to tell us while he was well."
