Sahih al-Bukhari 4450 (Book 64, Hadith 470) #4243
The Prophet's Last Moments With 'Aisha

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was in his fatal illness and asked for 'Aisha's turn to stay with her. He stayed with her until he passed away while resting against her chest.

Narrated 'Urwa: 'Aisha said, "Allah's Messenger in his fatal illness, used to ask, 'Where will I be tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow?", seeking 'Aisha's turn. His wives allowed him to stay wherever he wished. So he stayed at 'Aisha's house till he expired while he was with her"'.Aisha added, "The Prophet expired on the day of my turn in my house and he was taken unto Allah while his head was against my chest and his saliva mixed with my saliva"'.Aisha added, "Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr came in, carrying a Siwak he was cleaning his teeth with. Allah's Messenger looked at it and I said to him, 'O 'AbdurRahman! Give me this Siwak'. So he gave it to me and I cut it, chewed it (it's end) and gave it to Allah's Messenger who cleaned his teeth with it while he was resting against my chest".
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَسْأَلُ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ يَقُولَ ‏ "‏ أَيْنَ أَنَا غَدًا أَيْنَ أَنَا غَدًا ‏"‏ يُرِيدُ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ أَزْوَاجُهُ يَكُونُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ، فَكَانَ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ حَتَّى مَاتَ عِنْدَهَا، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَمَاتَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَدُورُ عَلَىَّ فِيهِ فِي بَيْتِي، فَقَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّ رَأْسَهُ لَبَيْنَ نَحْرِي وَسَحْرِي، وَخَالَطَ رِيقُهُ رِيقِي ـ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ ـ دَخَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَمَعَهُ سِوَاكٌ يَسْتَنُّ بِهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَعْطِنِي هَذَا السِّوَاكَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ‏.‏ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ فَقَضِمْتُهُ، ثُمَّ مَضَغْتُهُ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَاسْتَنَّ بِهِ وَهْوَ مُسْتَنِدٌ إِلَى صَدْرِي‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith narrated by Urwa and Aisha, we learn about the Prophet Muhammad’s last moments before his death. During his fatal illness, the Prophet asked for ‘Aisha’s turn to stay with him. His wives allowed him to stay wherever he wished so he stayed at ‘Aisha’s house until he passed away while resting against her chest. Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr came in carrying a Siwak which the Prophet looked at and ‘Aisha requested it from him before cutting it into pieces and giving it to the Prophet who used it as a toothbrush while resting against her chest. This hadith teaches us about companionship even during difficult times such as sickness or death; that we should be there for our loved ones when they need us most no matter what situation they are in. It also teaches us about being generous towards others even if its something small like a Siwak; that we should always be willing to give whatever we can whenever possible without expecting anything in return.
