(Second Chain) It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I used to hear from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that every prophet is given the choice before death to select either this world or the Hereafter. During his final illness, once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) coughed and I heard him reciting this verse: {مَعَ الَّذِینَ أَنْعَمَ اللّٰہُ عَلَیْہِمْ مِنَ النَّبِیِّینَ وَالصِّدِّیقِینَ وَالشُّہَدَائِ وَالصَّالِحِینَ وَحَسُنَ أُولٰئِکَ رَفِیقًا} … With those prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous upon whom Allah has bestowed His favor—how excellent these companions are! So I realized that he had been given the choice between this world and the Hereafter.
