It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that on the day of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) passing, he returned from the mosque and lay down in my lap. During this time, a member of Abu Bakr’s (may Allah be pleased with him) household came holding a fresh green miswak. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at it in such a way that I understood he wished to use the miswak. I said,“O Messenger of Allah! Do you want me to give you this miswak?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Yes!”I took it, chewed it to soften it, and presented it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used the miswak in such an excellent manner as I had seen him do before. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put it aside. I felt that the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) body was becoming heavy. I looked at his face and saw that his gaze was raised upwards and he was saying,“With the Highest Companion in Paradise.”I said,“You have been given the choice. By the One who sent you with the truth, you have chosen it.”And on that very day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away between my neck and chest, and on the day of my turn. In this, I did not wrong anyone, but it was my foolishness and youth that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away in my lap, and then I lifted his head and placed it on a pillow, and I myself joined the women in weeping and began to strike my face with my hands.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that we women did not know where the burial of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would take place, until after the night of Tuesday had begun, in the last part of the night, we heard the sounds of people passing by.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was afflicted with his final illness, he would repeatedly cover his blessed face with a sheet. When he felt discomfort, we would remove the sheet from his face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying, "May Allah's curse be upon the Jews and Christians; they made the graves of their prophets (peace be upon them) places of prostration." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that in fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was warning people against this action so that they would not fall into it.

Rabah says that I asked Muammar, "Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) pass away while sitting?" He replied, "Yes."

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas and Aisha (may Allah be pleased with them) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was afflicted with his final illness, he would repeatedly cover his blessed face with a sheet. When he felt discomfort, we would remove the sheet from his face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "May Allah's curse be upon the Jews and the Christians; they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that in fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was warning people against their actions so that they would not fall into the same practice.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once, on the occasion of the Battle of Dhat, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in the prayer of fear (Salat al-Khawf) in such a way that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) divided the people into two groups. One group formed rows behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the other group went and stood facing the enemy. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said the takbir, and those who were standing behind also said the takbir. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ruku, and they also performed ruku. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed sajdah, and they also performed sajdah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head, and they also raised their heads. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paused for a while, and the followers performed the second sajdah by themselves, then stood up and, walking backwards on their heels, went and stood in the place of the first group, and that group came and formed rows behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They said the takbir and performed ruku by themselves. Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the second sajdah, they also performed sajdah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for the second rak'ah, and they performed the second sajdah by themselves. After this, both groups together formed rows behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ruku with them. Then all performed sajdah together, raised their heads together, and in each of these actions, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed them quickly and did not fall short in making them as brief as possible. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said salam, and the people also said salam, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up. In this way, all the people participated in the complete prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
