"كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ: سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا هَذِهِ الكَلِمَاتُ الَّتِي قَدْ أَحْدَثْتَهَا؟ (قَالَ): قَدْ جُعِلَتْ لِي عَلَامَةٌ لأُمَّتِي إِذَا رَأَيْتُهَا قُلْتُهَا: إِذا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَالفَتْحُ".

Collected by Muslim

The Prophet’s ﷺ frequent supplication near his death

muslim:484b – Abū Bakr b. Abī Shaybah and Abū Kurayb > Abū Muʿāwiyah > al-Aʿmash > Muslim > Masrūq > ʿĀʾishah

Before his death, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would often say:

subḥānaka wa-bi-ḥamdik, astaghfiruka wa-atūbu ilayk

(Glory be to You, and with Your praise; I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You.)

She said: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, what are these words which I see you have newly begun saying?” He said: "A sign has been appointed for me among my ummah; when I see it, I say these words: "When the victory of Allah and the conquest come," to the end of the surah.

مسلم:٤٨٤b – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ:

«سُبْحَانَكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ».

قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتُ الَّتِي أَرَاكَ أَحْدَثْتَهَا تَقُولُهَا؟ قَالَ: «جُعِلَتْ لِي عَلاَمَةٌ فِي أُمَّتِي إِذَا رَأَيْتُهَا قُلْتُهَا: ﴿إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ﴾ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ».
