Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Malik ibn Anas, from what was read to him, from Hisham ibn 'Urwah, from 'Abbad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, from 'A'ishah, that she informed him that she heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say before he died, while he was leaning against her chest, and she inclined her ear to him, as he was saying: "O Allah, forgive me, have mercy upon me, and join me with the Companion [on High]."
