Explanation of the Book of the Hearts-07b

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to me, and al-Layth narrated to us from 'Aqil from Ibn Shihab, who said: Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib and 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, along with a group of men of knowledge, informed me that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say while he was in good health:
No prophet's soul is ever captured unless he is shown his place in Paradise and given the option (to die or survive). إنه لم يقبض نبي قط حتى يرى مقعده من الجنة ثم يخير
Sahih al-Bukhari 6509
When his illness overtook him and his head was on my lap, he fainted for a while, then he came to himself, fixed his gaze on the ceiling, and said:
O Allah, the highest companion اللهم الرفيق الأعلى
I said: "Then he will not choose us." And I knew that this was the hadith he used to narrate to us. She said: "And that was the last word the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke." His saying:
O Allah, the highest companion اللهم الرفيق الأعلى


The Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him. Look at al-Fath, what does it say about the chain of narration.
