باب: ما جاء فى وفاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the death of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
Prophet moistened his hands and wiped his face in final moments
Hadith 388
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ وَعِنْدَهُ قَدَحٌ فِيهِ مَاءٌ، وَهُوَ يُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ فِي الْقَدَحِ ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ وَجْهَهُ بِالْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى مُنْكَرَاتِ - أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى سَكَرَاتِ - الْمَوْتِ»
Mother of the Believers, Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the state of death, and there was a bowl of water placed near him. He would put his blessed hand into the bowl and then wipe his radiant face with the water and say: "O Allah! Help me in the agonies of death," or he said, "Help me in the unconsciousness of death."
