أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ هُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ کَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السِّتْرَ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْصُوبٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْ تُرَی لَهُ أَلَا وَإِنِّي قَدْ نُهِيتُ عَنْ الْقِرَائَةِ فِي الرُّکُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ فَإِذَا رَکَعْتُمْ فَعَظِّمُوا رَبَّکُمْ وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَائِ فَإِنَّهُ قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَکُمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1125
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم drew aside the curtain when he had a cloth wrapped around his head during his final illness, and said: ‘Allah, I have conveyed (the Message)’ three times. ‘There is nothing left of the features of Prophethood except a good dream that a person sees or is seen by others for him. But I have been forbidden to recite the Qur’an when bowing and prostrating, so when you bow, then glorify your Lord and when you prostrate, then strive hard in supplication, for it is more deserving of a response.” (Sahih)
