Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dying on Aisha’s chest with the hadith of the vessel that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for to urinate in before his death? What was his final state (peace be upon him) before he died?
Answer:
Yes, his final state was as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: his head was on her chest. The vessel was brought and made available, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) was unable to use it. Yes.
