It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world in my house, on the day of my turn, between my chest and throat. That day, Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr came, and in his hand was a fresh miswak. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used the miswak with such excellence that I had never seen him use it in that manner before. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hand to give it to me, but the miswak fell from his hand. Seeing this, I began to recite those supplications which Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) used to recite at the time of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) illness, but on this occasion, he had not recited those supplications. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his gaze towards the sky and said, "The Highest Companion, the Highest Companion," and at that very moment, the blessed soul of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed. In every situation, all praise is due to Allah, who united my saliva with that of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the last day of his life.
