[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died between my arms and chest. After seeing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ die while he had a cup of water in which he would put his hand and wipe his face with the water, I will never dislike the severity of death for anyone. Then he said, "O Allah, assist me in the agony of death."
