Musnad Abi Ya'la 4534 — Sayyidah Aishah said: We used to hear that no
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: " كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا لَا يَمُوتُ حَتَّى يُخَيَّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ. قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ أَخَذَتْهُ بُحَّةٌ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: {مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا} [النساء: 69] فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ خُيِّرَ "
It is narrated from Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "We used to hear that no prophet dies until he is given the choice between this world and the Hereafter. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) relates that during his final illness, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was overcome by hoarseness of voice, and I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) recite this verse of the Noble Qur'an: 'In the company of those upon whom Allah has bestowed favour: the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous; and excellent are they as companions' [Surah al-Nisa: 69]. So I knew that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had been given the choice (between this world and the Hereafter)."
