Sahih al-Bukhari 6111 (Book 80, Hadith 45)
Paradise, and then he is given the option (to live or die).” So when death approached him(during his
illness), and while his head was on my thigh, he became unconscious for a while, and when he
recovered, he fixed his eyes on the ceiling and said, “O Allah! (Let me join) the Highest Companions
(see Qur’an 4:69),” I said, “So, he does not choose us.” Then I realized that it was the application of
the statement he used to relate to us when he was healthy. So that was his last utterance (before he
died), i.e. “O Allah! (Let me join) the Highest Companions.”
