Volume 7, Book 70, Number 570:
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
‘Aisha, (complaining of headache) said, “Oh, my head”! Allah’s Apostle said, “I wish that had
happened while I was still living, for then I would ask Allah’s Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah
for you.” Aisha said, “Wa thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to die; and If this should happen,
you would spend the last part of the day sleeping with one of your wives!” The Prophet said, “Nay, I
should say, ‘Oh my head!’ I felt like sending for Abu Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my suc –
cessor lest some people claimed something or some others wished something, but then I said (to my –
self), ‘Allah would not allow it to be otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise”.
