(Book 16, Hadith 47) #35618
The Choice of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was given the choice to live or die before his death and he chose to pass away.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'No prophet dies until he is given the choice'. " She continued, "I heard him say ,'O Allah, the highest company,' and I knew that he was going".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ يَمُوتُ حَتَّى يُخَيَّرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ الرَّفِيقَ الأَعْلَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ ذَاهِبٌ
