[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us during his illness in which he eventually passed away, while we were in the mosque. He was supporting his head with a cloth until he reached the pulpit and climbed it. He said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I am able to see the Pond (of Kawthar) from my position here." Then he said, "A servant was presented to me with the treasures and luxuries of this world, and he chose the Hereafter." No one paid attention to this statement except Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and tears started flowing from his eyes as he wept. He said, "We will ransom you with our fathers, mothers, ourselves, and our wealth, O Messenger of Allah." He then descended from the pulpit and did not climb on it again until his passing.
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ وَنَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَاصِبًا رَأْسَهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ حَتَّى أَهْوَى نَحْوَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ وَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَوْضِ مِنْ مَقَامِي هَذَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ عَبْدًا عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا فَاخْتَارَ الْآخِرَةَ» قَالَ فَلَمْ يَفْطِنْ لَهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ بَلْ نَفْدِيكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا وَأَنْفُسِنَا وَأَمْوَالِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ هَبَطَ فَمَا قَامَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ
