ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ سَأَلَ فِي عِلَّتِهِ نِسَاءَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ تَمْرِيضُهُ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ ؓ

“I asked ‘Aishah: ‘O mother! Tell me about the sickness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’ She said: ‘He felt pain and started to spit (over his body), and we began to compare his spittle to the spittle of a person eating raisins. Like a person eating raisins and spitting out the seeds. He used to go around among his wives, but when he became ill, he asked them permission to stay in the house of ‘Aishah and that they should come to him in turns.’ She said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me, (supported) between two men, with his feet making lines along the ground. One of them was ‘Abbas.’ I told Ibn ‘Abbas this Hadith and he said: ‘Do you know who the other man was whom ‘Aishah did not name? He was ‘Ali bin Abu Talib.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1618)   

ابن حبّان:٦٥٨٨أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ قُلْتُ أَخْبِرِينِي

عَنْ مَرَضِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتِ «اشْتَكَى فَعَلِقَ يَنْفُثُ فَجَعَلْنَا نُشَبِّهُ نَفْثَهُ بِنَفْثِ آكِلِ الزَّبِيبِ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ يَدُورُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فَلَمَّا ثَقُلَ اسْتَأْذَنَهُنَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدِي وَيَدُرْنَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ تَخُطَّانِ رِجْلَاهُ الْأَرْضَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَبَّاسٌ» قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ لِي «مَا أَخْبَرْتَكَ بِالْآخَرِ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ هُوَ عَلِيٌّ»

[Machine] I heard a long story from him that I only remember a little bit of. We entered upon Aisha and said, "O Mother of the Believers, tell us about the illness of the Messenger of Allah. She said, "He complained and began to blow, so we imitated his blowing. His blowing was like the blowing of a person eating raisins. He used to visit his wives, and when he felt unwell, he asked permission from them to stay in Aisha's house and be cared for by them. They granted him permission, so he entered upon the Messenger of Allah, leaning on the shoulders of two men. One of them was Abbas, and his feet were dragging on the ground. Ibn Abbas asked, "Did he inform you about who the other person was?" Aisha said, "No." He said, "It was Ali."

[Machine] Regarding the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that "He complained and then he embraced his breath, and we likened his breath to the breath of a person eating raisins. He would rotate between his wives. When the illness worsened, he asked them for permission to be treated at my home and for them to take care of him. They granted him permission, so he entered upon me while reclining on two legs, with one of them being that of Al-Abbas. I mentioned this to Ibn Abbas, and he said, 'Didn't you know who the other leg belonged to?' I said, 'No.' He replied, 'It was Ali.'"

[Machine] About the illness of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , she said, "He complained and he used to breathe heavily. We used to compare his breath to the breath of a person who had eaten raisins. He used to rotate between his wives. When his illness worsened, he sought permission from them to be treated by me and they would take turns nursing him. So, he was given permission, and he came to me while leaning on two legs, with one of them being the Abbas. I mentioned this to Ibn Abbas, and he said, 'Didn't the other part inform you?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'It was Ali.'"
