Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6295

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَمُوتَ نَبِيٌّ حَتَّى يُخَيَّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ ، قَالَتْ: فَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ ، وَأَخَذَتْهُ بُحَّةٌ يَقُولُ: مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ ، وَالشُّهَدَاءِ ، وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا. قَالَتْ: فَظَنَنْتُهُ خُيِّرَ حِينَئِذٍ.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I used to hear that no Prophet ever died until he had been given the choice between this world and the Hereafter. I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) ' during the sickness of which he died, saying with some gruffness in his voice: 'In the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqin, the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!"' She said: "And I thought that he had been given the choice at that point."
