Sahih al-Bukhari 6270 (Book 81, Hadith 98)
is ever captured unless he is shown his place in Paradise and given the option (to die or survive).” So
when the death of the Prophet (ﷺ) approached and his head was on my thigh, he became unconscious for a
while and then he came to his senses and fixed his eyes on the ceiling and said, “O Allah (with) the
highest companions.” (See Qur’an 4:69). I said’ “Hence he is not going to choose us.” And I came to
know that it was the application of the narration which he (the Prophet) used to narrate to us. And that
was the last statement of the Prophet (before his death) i.e., “O Allah! With the highest companions.”
(See Qur’an 4:69)
Sahih al-Bukhari 6270 (Book 81, Hadith 98)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
