[Machine] "The last time I looked at the Prophet ﷺ , he complained and ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. While we were praying Dhuhr, the Prophet ﷺ uncovered the screen of Aisha's chamber with his hand and looked at the people. I looked at his face as if it were the page of a Qur'an."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٠٧٠أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ الْوَضَّاحِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

«آخِرُ نَظْرَةٍ نَظَرْتُهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ اشْتَكَى فَأَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ كَشَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ سِتْرَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى النَّاسِ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ»

“The last glance that I had of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was when he drew back the curtain on Monday, and I saw his face as if it was a page of the Mushaf (Qur’an), and the people were praying behind Abu Bakr. He (Abu Bakr) wanted to move, but he (the Prophet ﷺ) gestured to him to stand firm. Then he let the curtain fall, and he died at the end of that day.”  

ابن ماجة:١٦٢٤حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ

سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ آخِرُ نَظْرَةٍ نَظَرْتُهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَشْفُ السِّتَارَةِ يَوْمَ الاِثْنَيْنِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ وَالنَّاسُ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَحَرَّكَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اثْبُتْ وَأَلْقَى السِّجْفَ وَمَاتَ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
