Sahih al-Bukhari 4242 (Book 64, Hadith 458)

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 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.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ صَحِيحٌ يَقُولُ ‏”‏ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْبَضْ نَبِيٌّ قَطُّ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ يُحَيَّا أَوْ يُخَيَّرَ ‏”‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا اشْتَكَى وَحَضَرَهُ الْقَبْضُ وَرَأْسُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِ عَائِشَةَ غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ شَخَصَ بَصَرُهُ نَحْوَ سَقْفِ الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏”‏ اللَّهُمَّ فِي الرَّفِيقِ الأَعْلَى ‏”‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ إِذًا لاَ يُجَاوِرُنَا‏.‏ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ حَدِيثُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا وَهْوَ صَحِيحٌ‏.‏
