Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14268

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا تُقْبَضُ نَفْسُهُ ، ثُمَّ يَرَى الثَّوَابَ ، ثُمَّ تُرَدُّ إِلَيْهِ فَتُخَيَّرُ بَيْنَ أَنْ تُرَدَّ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَلْحَقَ " .
فَكُنْتُ قَدْ حَفِظْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ، فَإِنِّي لَمُسْنِدَتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَالَتْ عُنُقُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : قَدْ قُضِيَ . قَالَتْ : فَعَرَفْتُ الَّذِي قَالَ . قَالَتْ : فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَ وَنَظَرَ ، قُلْتُ : إِذًا لَا يَخْتَارُنَا ، فَقَالَ : مَعَ الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ إِلَى آخَرِ الْآيَةِ .
Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The soul of every prophet is taken, then he sees the reward, then that soul is returned to him, and then he is given the choice either to have that soul returned, or to go on ahead." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I had remembered this. Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was leaning against my chest, and I was looking at him; meanwhile his neck drooped. I thought he had perhaps passed away, but then I remembered what he had said. I looked at the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); he rose and looked up. I said: "In that case, he (peace and blessings be upon him) will not choose us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I wish for the companionship of the Highest Companion in Paradise, the companionship of those upon whom Allah Almighty has bestowed favour, from among the prophets and the truthful," and he recited the verse to its end.
