Sahih al-Bukhari 5494 (Book 76, Hadith 31)
When the health of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) deteriorated and his condition became serious, he asked the
permission of all his wives to allow him to be treated In my house, and they allowed him. He came
out, supported by two men and his legs were dragging on the ground between `Abbas and another
man. (The sub-narrator told Ibn `Abbas who said: Do you know who was the other man whom `Aisha
did not mention? The sub-narrator said: No. Ibn `Abbas said: It was `Ali.) `Aisha added: When the
Prophet entered my house and his disease became aggravated, he said, “Pour on me seven water skins
full of water (the tying ribbons of which had not been untied) so that I may give some advice to the
people.” So we made him sit in a tub belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) and started pouring
water on him from those water skins till he waved us to stop. Then he went out to the people and led
them in prayer and delivered a speech before them.
“ هَرِيقُوا عَلَىَّ مِنْ سَبْعِ قِرَبٍ لَمْ تُحْلَلْ أَوْكِيَتُهُنَّ، لَعَلِّي أَعْهَدُ إِلَى النَّاسِ ”. قَالَتْ فَأَجْلَسْنَاهُ فِي مِخْضَبٍ لِحَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ طَفِقْنَا نَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْقِرَبِ، حَتَّى جَعَلَ يُشِيرُ إِلَيْنَا أَنْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُنَّ. قَالَتْ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَصَلَّى لَهُمْ وَخَطَبَهُمْ.

Among the six canonical hadith collections of Sunni Islam, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, Sahih al-Bukhari is frequently accorded the highest rank.
