Hadith 25701
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ لَا يَمُوتُ نَبِيٌّ إِلَّا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَصَابَتْهُ بُحَّةٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا سورة النساء آية 69 فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ خُيِّرَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: When the time comes for a Prophet's soul to be taken, he is given the choice that he may be returned to that reward and joined with it (or sent back to the world). During the illness of death, I was supporting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) against my chest when suddenly I saw that his neck dropped. I heard him saying, "With those upon whom Allah has bestowed His favor, such as the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous, and excellent are those as companions." So I understood that he had been given the choice.
