Hadith 11023

عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِي وَيَوْمِي وَبَيْنَ سَحْرِي وَنَحْرِي فَدَخَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا وَمَعَهُ سِوَاكٌ رَطْبٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ فِيهِ حَاجَةً قَالَتْ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَمَضَغْتُهُ وَنَفَضْتُهُ وَطَيَّبْتُهُ ثُمَّ دَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَاسْتَنَّ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُسْتَنًّا قَطُّ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَيَّ فَسَقَطَ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذْتُ أَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِدُعَاءٍ كَانَ يَدْعُو لَهُ بِهِ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَكَانَ هُوَ يَدْعُو بِهِ إِذَا مَرِضَ فَلَمْ يَدْعُ بِهِ فِي مَرَضِهِ ذَلِكَ فَرَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ الرَّفِيقُ الْأَعْلَى الرَّفِيقُ الْأَعْلَى يَعْنِي وَفَاضَتْ نَفْسُهُ فَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَمَعَ بَيْنَ رِيقِي وَرِيقِهِ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الدُّنْيَا
It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaika that Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away in my house and on the day of my turn, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was between my chest and neck. At that time, my brother, Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and he had a fresh miswak with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked towards that miswak, and I understood that he (peace and blessings be upon him) needed the miswak. I took the miswak from him, chewed it, cleaned it, and gave it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) used the miswak in such a beautiful manner that I had never seen him (peace and blessings be upon him) use the miswak so beautifully before. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) tried to hand it back to me, it fell from his hand. I picked it up and began to recite the supplication to Allah Almighty that Jibreel (peace be upon him) used to make for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself used to recite whenever he was ill. But in this illness, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recite that supplication. He (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his gaze towards the sky and said: "The Highest Companion, the Highest Companion." And with that, his (peace and blessings be upon him) soul departed. All praise is due to Allah, Who united my saliva with the saliva of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on his last day.
