Abu Amr Zakwan, the freed slave of Ayesha, reported that Ayesha used to say, "Among the blessings Allah bestowed upon me is that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away in my house, on my day, and between my chest and throat, and that Allah joined my saliva with his at the moment of his death.Abdul-Rahman came in holding a tooth-stick while I was supporting the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I saw him looking at it, and I knew he wanted the tooth-stick. I asked, 'Shall I take it for you?' He nodded yes. So I softened it for him.Before him was a vessel, or a container (Umar was uncertain which), containing water. He began dipping his hands into the water and wiping his face with them, saying, 'There is no god but Allah. Indeed, death has its agonies.'Then he raised his hand and began saying, 'With the highest companions,' until his soul was taken and his hand fell."
أن أبا عمرو ذكوان مولى عائشة أخبره، أن عائشة كانت تقول: إن من نعم الله علي أن رسول الله ﷺ توفي في بيتي، وفي يومي، وبين سحري، ونحري، وأن الله جمع بين ريقي وريقه عند موته دخل علي عبد الرحمن وبيده سواك، وأنا مسندة رسول الله ﷺ، فرأيته ينظر إليه، فعرفت أنه يحب السواك، فقلت: آخذ لك؟ فأشار برأسه: أن نعم. فلينته، وبين يديه ركوة، أو علبة- يشك عمر- فيها ماء، فجعل يدخل يديه في الماء، فيمسح بهما وجهه ويقول: لا إله إلا الله، إن للموت سكرات. ثم نصب يده فجعل يقول: في الرفيق الأعلى. حتى قبض، ومالت يده.
Bukhari narrated it in al-Maghazi (4449) from Muhammad bin Ubayd, who said, our teacher Isa bin Yunus told us, from Umar bin Saeed, who said, Ibn Abu Mulayka informed me, and then he related it.As for what is narrated from Ayesha, who said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was dying, with a cup containing water beside him. He would dip his hand into the cup, then wipe his face with the water, and say, 'O Allah, help me through the throes of death,'" or, "'the agonies of death,'" this is daif. It was narrated by Tirmidhi (978), Ibn Majah (1623), and Nasai in al-Yawm wal-Layla (1093), all of them from Layth bin Saad, from Ibn Hadi, from Musa bin Sarjis, from Qasim bin Muhammad, from Ayesha, who related it.Musa bin Sarjis is unknown, because Ibn Hadi alone narrated from him, and no one else confirmed his reliability. Tirmidhi said, "Hasan gharib." Hakim also reported it (2/465) and said, "sahih in its chain of transmission, though the two of them (Bukhari and Muslim) did not report it." Ibn Hadi is Yazid bin Abdullah bin Usama bin Hadi.As for Ibn Majah, he made him Yazid bin Abu Habib, reporting it from Ibn Abu Shayba (10/258), where only the name Yazid appears without further identification. Likewise, Imam Ahmad narrated it (24356) from Yunus, who said, our teacher Layth told us, from Yazid, with his chain of transmission.So Ibn Majah added the lineage and made him Ibn Abu Habib, which is a glaring error, for no one else has said this. Hafiz has pointed this out in Nukat Ziraf (12/286–287), so refer to it.
