(the wife of the Prophet)
When the health of Allah’s Apostle deteriorated and his condition became serious, he asked the
permission of all his wives to allow him to be treated In my house, and they allowed him. He came
out, supported by two men and his legs were dragging on the ground between Abbas and another
man. (The sub-narrator told Ibn ‘Abbas who said: Do you know who was the other man whom ‘Aisha
did not mention? The sub-narrator said: No. Ibn Abbas said: It was ‘Ali.) ‘Aisha added: When the
Prophet entered my house and his disease became aggravated, he said, “Pour on me seven water skins
full of water (the tying ribbons of which had not been untied) so that I may give some advice to the
people.” So we made him sit in a tub belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet and started pouring
water on him from those water skins till he waved us to stop. Then he went out to the people and led
them in prayer and delivered a speech before them.
