The Prophet ﷺ used to say while he was in good health, "No prophet's soul is taken until he is shown his place in Paradise, and then he is given the choice."When the illness came upon him and his head was resting on my thigh, he lost consciousness for a while, then he regained his senses and fixed his gaze toward the ceiling of the room. Then he said, "O Allah, the highest companionship."I said to myself, "Then he is not choosing us." And I realized that this was the very thing he had been telling us about while he was healthy.She said, those were the last words he spoke, "O Allah, the highest companionship."
