It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say (during his blessed life) that the soul of every prophet is seized for a short while, and after showing him his reward, his soul is returned to him, and he is given the choice to select between this world and the Hereafter, whichever he wishes. I remembered this statement that I had heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). During his final illness, I was holding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to my chest when his neck drooped. I looked at him and thought that he had passed away. I remembered what he had said. I looked at him, and his condition improved. I realized that now he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not choose us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: {مَعَ الَّذِینَ أَنْعَمَ اللّٰہُ عَلَیْہِمْ مِنَ النَّبِیِّینَ وَالصِّدِّیقِینَ وَالشُّہَدَاء ِ وَالصَّالِحِینَ۔} "With those prophets, truthful ones, martyrs, and righteous, upon whom Allah has bestowed His favor." Until the end of the verse.
