Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet used to say, ‘O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the affliction of the Fire, the pun –
ishment of the Fire, the affliction of the grave, the punishment of the grave, and the evil of the afflic –
tion of poverty. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the evil of the affliction of Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal,
O Allah! Cleanse my heart with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from all sins as a
white garment is cleansed from filth, and let there be a far away distance between me and my sins as
You made the East and West far away from each other. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from lazi –
ness, sins, and from being in debt.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 377:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Two old ladies from among the Jewish ladies entered upon me and said’ “The dead are punished in
their graves,” but I thought they were telling a lie and did not believe them in the beginning. When
they went away and the Prophet entered upon me, I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Two old ladies..” and
told him the whole story. He said, “They told the truth; the dead are really punished, to the extent
that all the animals hear (the sound resulting from) their punishment.” Since then I always saw him
seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave in his prayers.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet used to say, “O Allah! I seek refuge with You from laziness and geriatric old age, from
all kinds of sins and from being in debt; from the affliction of the Fire and from the punishment of
the Fire and from the evil of the affliction of wealth; and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of
poverty, and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of Al-Mesiah Ad-Dajjal. O Allah! Wash away
my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from all the sins as a white garment is
cleansed from the filth, and let there be a long distance between me and my sins, as You made East
and West far from each other.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
The boys used to be brought to the Prophet and he used to invoke for Allah’s blessing upon them.

Volume 8, Book 75, Number 359:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
When Allah’s Apostle was healthy, he used to say, “No prophet dies till he is shown his place in
Paradise, and then he is given the option (to live or die).” So when death approached him(during his
illness), and while his head was on my thigh, he became unconscious for a while, and when he re –
covered, he fixed his eyes on the ceiling and said, “O Allah! (Let me join) the Highest Companions
(see Qur’an 4:69),” I said, “So, he does not choose us.” Then I realized that it was the application of the
statement he used to relate to us when he was healthy. So that was his last utterance (before he died),
i.e. “O Allah! (Let me join) the Highest Companions.”
