بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي احْتِصَارِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمُعَالَجَتِهِ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَتَخْسِيرِهِ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَاخْتِيَارِهِ الرَّفِيقَ الْأَعْلَى وَهُوَ آخِرُ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ

Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 11030 — on What Has Been Reported Regarding His ﷺ
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ قُبِضَ أَوْ مَاتَ وَهُوَ بَيْنَ حَاقِنَتِي وَذَاقِنَتِي فَلَا أَكْرَهُ شِدَّةَ الْمَوْتِ لِأَحَدٍ أَبَدًا بَعْدَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while he was between my chest and neck. Since I witnessed the severity of the agony of death upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), therefore I do not dislike the severity of death for anyone now.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Facing severity at the time of death is something that even the Prophets (anbiya) and the righteous (salihin) experience, therefore, na'udhu billah, this is not something due to which one should begin to think ill of the deceased.
