حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِهِ كَلِمَةً سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْهُ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : بَلِ الرَّفِيقَ الْأَعْلَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ .
قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : إِذًا وَاللهِ ، لَا يَخْتَارُنَا ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُولُ لَنَا : إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ لَا يُقْبَضُ حَتَّى يُخَيَّرَ .
قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : إِذًا وَاللهِ ، لَا يَخْتَارُنَا ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُولُ لَنَا : إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ لَا يُقْبَضُ حَتَّى يُخَيَّرَ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "The last words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were a phrase I heard from him (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: 'Rather, (I seek) the companionship of the Highest Companion of Paradise.'" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Then I said (to myself): In that case, by Allah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) will not choose us (to remain with us), and I understood what he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to tell us: 'No prophet of Allah has his soul taken until he is given the choice (between remaining in this world and meeting the Highest Companion).'"
