حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ يَمْرَضُ إِلَّا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا کَانَ مَرَضُهُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ أَخَذَتْهُ بُحَّةٌ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَائِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ خُيِّرَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1620
It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H say: 'There is no Prophet who fell sick but he was given the choice between this World and the Hereafter.' She said: 'When he became sick with the illness that would be his last, (his voice) became hoarse and I heard him say, "In the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His grace, of the Prophets, the true believers, the martyrs, and the righteous." Then I knew that he had been given the choice." (Sahih)
