[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said during his illness, "Pour seven buckets of water from seven different wells on me, until I go out to the people and make a pledge to them." So, we sat him in a container for Hafsah, his wife, and poured water on him in abundance or sprinkled it on him from Mohammad bin Ishaq. He found relief and went out and climbed the pulpit, praised Allah and spoke highly of Him, sought forgiveness for the martyrs of Uhud, and prayed for them. Then he said, "As for what follows, the Ansar, who sheltered me and supported me, have some faults. Honor their noble people and overlook their wrongdoers, except for certain limits. Indeed, a servant of Allah was given the choice between this world and what lies with Allah, so he chose what lies with Allah." Abu Bakr cried and thought that the Prophet was referring to himself.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ «صُبُّوا عَلَيَّ سَبْعَ قِرَبٍ مِنْ سَبْعِ آبَارٍ شَتَّى حَتَّى أَخْرُجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَأَعْهَدَ إِلَيْهِمْ» قَالَ فَأَقْعَدْنَاهُ فِي مِخْضَبٍ لِحَفْصَةَ فَصَبَبْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ صَبًّا أَوْ شَنَنَّا عَلَيْهِ شَنًّا الشَّكُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ فَوَجَدَ رَاحَةً فَخَرَجَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهِ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لِلشُّهَدَاءِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أُحُدٍ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ عَيْبَتِي الَّتِي أَوَيْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَكْرِمُوا كَرِيمَهُمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ إِلَّا فِي حَدٍّ أَلَا إِنَّ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ قَدْ خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَاخْتَارَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ» فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ
