حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ , عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ , أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ حِينَ قَالُوا : " خَشِينَا أَنْ يَكُونَ بِهِ ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ , إِنَّهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ اللَّهُ لِيُسَلِّطَهُ عَلَيَّ " : قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ : قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا مَا أَسْمَعُهُ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْبِضْ نَبِيًّا حَتَّى يُخَيِّرَهُ " قَالَتْ : فَلَمَّا حُضِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ آخِرُ كَلِمَةٍ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : " بَلْ الرَّفِيقُ الْأَعْلَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ " قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : إِذًا وَاللَّهِ لَا يَخْتَارُنَا , وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُولُ لَنَا : " إِنَّ نَبِيًّا لَا يُقْبَضُ حَتَّى يُخَيَّرَ " .
Urwah narrates that once Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him: People also became frightened, and according to our assumption, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was suffering from "Zaat al-Janb" (pleurisy), but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you think that Allah has afflicted me with this disease? In fact, Allah will never afflict me with it. It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: Whenever the time came for a Prophet's soul to be taken, after his soul was taken, his reward was shown to him, then it was returned and he was given the choice whether he wished to be returned to that reward (or sent back to the world). When the time of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) passing drew near, the last words I heard from his mouth were: "With the Highest Companion in Paradise." I remembered what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said, and I understood that now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not prefer us in any case.
