Hadith 1153:2327

Ya'qub narrated to us, he said: My father narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, he said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far ibn al-Zubayr narrated to me, from 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, that 'Aishah narrated to him that he [the Prophet] said, when they said: "We feared that he might have pleurisy": "It is from Satan, and Allah would not give him power over me." Ibn Ishaq said: And Ibn Shihab said: 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utbah narrated to me, from 'Aishah, she said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, I would often hear him say: "Allah does not take the soul of a prophet until He gives him the choice." She said: So when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was in his final moments, the last word I heard from him was him saying: "Rather, the Highest Companion from Paradise." She said: I said: "Then, by Allah, he will not choose us." And I knew that it was what he used to say to us: "A prophet is not taken until he is given the choice."

حدثنا يعقوب، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن محمد بن إسحاق، قال: حدثني محمد بن جعفر بن الزبير، عن عروة بن الزبير، أن عائشة، حدثته أنه قال، حين قالوا: خشينا أن تكون به ذات الجنب، " إنها من الشيطان ولم يكن الله ليسلطه علي " قال: ابن إسحاق، وقال: ابن شهاب، حدثني عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة، عن عائشة، قالت: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كثيرا ما أسمعه يقول: " إن الله لم يقبض نبيا حتى يخيره ". قالت: فلما حضر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان آخر كلمة سمعتها منه وهو يقول: " بل الرفيق الأعلى من الجنة ". قالت: قلت: إذا والله لا يختارنا، وعرفت أنه الذي كان يقول لنا: " إن نبيا لا يقبض حتى يخيره "
