عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَهُ قَدَحٌ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَيُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ فِي الْقَدَحِ ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ وَجْهَهُ بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a bowl of water was placed near him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would put his hand in the bowl, wet it, and wipe it over his blessed face, and kept supplicating: "Allahumma a'inni 'ala sakaratil mawt" (O Allah! Help me in the agonies of death.)
