Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-2446b
"عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله: أَنَّ كَعْبَ الأَحْبَارِ قَدِمَ زَمَنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ - وَنَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ -: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤمِنينَ مَا كَانَ آخِرُ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: سَلْ عَلِيًّا، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ هُوَ هَذَا: فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ: أَسْنَدْتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِى فَوَضَعَ رَأسَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِى وَقَالَ: الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ: كَذَلِكَ عَهْدُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَبِهِ أُمِرُوا وَعَلَيْهِ يُبْعَثُونَ، قَالَ: فَمَنْ غَسَّلَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ: سَلْ عَلِيًّا، فَسَأَلَهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَغْسِلُهُ وَكَانَ عَبَّاسٌ جَالِسًا وَكَانَ أُسَامَةُ وَشُقْرَانُ يَخْتَلِفَانِ إِلَىَّ بِالْمَاءِ".

"On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah: that Ka'b al-Ahbar came during the time of 'Umar and said, while we were sitting with 'Umar: 'O Commander of the Faithful, what were the last words the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke?' 'Umar said: 'Ask 'Ali.' He said: 'Where is he?' He said: 'He is here.' So he asked him, and 'Ali said: 'I supported him against my chest, and he placed his head on my shoulder and said: The prayer, the prayer.' Ka'b said: 'That is the covenant of the Prophets, they were commanded with it and will be resurrected upon it.' He said: 'Who washed him, O Commander of the Faithful?' He said: 'Ask 'Ali.' So he asked him, and he said: 'I was washing him, 'Abbas was sitting, and Usamah and Shuqran were bringing water to me.'"
