حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ وَعُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فِي رِجَالٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ: «إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْبَضْ نَبِيٌّ قَطُّ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ يُخَيَّرُ». قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَرَأْسُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي، غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ، فَأَشْخَصَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى السَّقْفِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ الرَّفِيقَ الأَعْلَى». قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: قُلْتُ: إِذًا لاَ يَخْتَارُنَا. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: وَعَرَفْتُ الْحَدِيثَ الَّذِي كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا بِهِ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ، فِي قَوْلِهِ: «إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْبَضْ نَبِيٌّ قَطُّ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ يُخَيَّرُ». قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ آخِرُ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَوْلَهُ: «اللَّهُمَّ الرَّفِيقَ الأَعْلَى».

✧ that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say while he was well: "No prophet is ever taken in death until he sees his seat in Paradise, then he is given the choice." Aisha said: When death came upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while his head was on my thigh, he lost consciousness for a while, then regained consciousness. He fixed his gaze toward the ceiling, then said: "O Allah, the highest company." Aisha said: I said, "Then he will not choose us." Aisha said: I recognized the hadith he used to tell us while he was well, in his words: "No prophet is ever taken in death until he sees his seat in Paradise, then he is given the choice." Aisha said: That was the last word the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke—his saying: "O Allah, the highest company."
