She said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew gravely ill and his pain intensified, he asked permission from his wives to be nursed in my house, and they granted him permission. He came out walking between two men, his feet dragging along the ground, between Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib and another man."Ubaydullah said, "I told Abdullah what Ayesha had said, and Abdullah bin Abbas asked me, 'Do you know who the other man was, the one Ayesha did not name?'I said, 'No.'Ibn Abbas said, 'He was Ali bin Abu Talib.'"Ayesha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, used to relate that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered my house and his pain became severe, he said, "Pour over me water from seven waterskins whose mouths have not yet been untied, so that I may give my final instructions to the people."So we sat him in a tub belonging to Hafsah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and began pouring water over him from those waterskins until he began to gesture to us with his hand that we had done enough.She said, "Then he went out to the people, led them in prayer, and addressed them."
قالت: لما ثقل رسول الله ﷺ واشتد به وجعه استأذن أزواجه أن يمرض في بيتي، فأذن له، فخرج وهو بين الرجلين تخط رجلاه في الأرض، بين عباس بن عبد المطلب وبين رجل آخر، قال عبيد الله: فأخبرت عبد الله بالذي قالت عائشة، فقال لي عبد الله بن عباس: هل تدري من الرجل الآخر الذي لم تسم عائشة؟ قال: قلت: لا. قال ابن عباس: هو علي بن أبي طالب، وكانت عائشة زوج النبي ﷺ تحدث أن رسول الله ﷺ لما دخل بيتي واشتد به وجعه قال: هريقوا علي من سبع قرب لم تحلل أوكيتهن لعلي أعهد إلى الناس فأجلسناه في مخضب لحفصة زوج النبي ﷺ، ثم طفقنا نصب عليه من تلك القرب حتى طفق يشير إلينا بيده أن قد فعلتن. قالت: ثم خرج إلى الناس فصلى بهم وخطبهم.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Military Expeditions (4442), and Muslim in the Book of Prayer (418:92), both of them through Layth, who said, Aqeel bin Khalid told me, from Ibn Shihab, who said, Ubaydullah bin Abdullah bin Utba bin Masud told me, that Ayesha said, and then he mentioned it.
