Sahih al-Bukhari 4437

Hadith text

Narrated Aisha:When Allah's Apostle was in good health, he used to say, "Never does a prophet die unless he is shown his place in Paradise ( before his death ), and then he is made alive or given the option." When the Prophet became ill and his last moments came while his head was on my thigh, he became unconscious, and when he came to his senses, he looked towards the roof of the house and then said, "O Allah! (Please let me be) with the highest companion." Thereupon I said, "Hence he is not going to stay with us?" Then I came to know that his state was the confirmation of the narration he used to mention to us while he was in good health

Aisha bataati hain: Jab Allah ke Rasool (SAW) tandurust the, to farmaya karte the, 'Koi Nabi tab tak wafat nahi paata jab tak use jannat mein uski jagah dikha na di jaaye, uske baad use zinda rakha jaata hai ya ikhtiyar diya jaata hai.' Jab Nabi (SAW) bimar hue aur unke aakhri lamhe aaye, us waqt unka sar mere ran par tha, wo behosh ho gaye, aur jab hosh mein aaye to chhat ki taraf dekha aur farmaya, 'Aye Allah! (Mujhe) sabse buland saathi ke saath rakh.' Isper maine (dil mein) socha, 'To ab ye hamare saath nahi rahenge.' Phir mujhe samajh aaya ke unki ye halat usi baat ki tasdeeq thi jo wo tandurusti mein hamein bataya karte the.
