Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ سَفِينَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ ‏ "‏ الصَّلاَةَ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّى مَا يَفِيضَ بِهَا لِسَانُهُ ‏.‏

English Translation

It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say, during the illness that would be his last:

“The prayer, and those whom your hands possess.”* And he kept on saying it until his tongue could no longer utter any words.
