حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ يَمُوتُ وَعِنْدَهُ قَدَحٌ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَيُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ فِي الْقَدَحِ ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ وَجْهَهُ بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: " اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ " .

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Yunus ibn Muhammad narrated to us; al-Layth ibn Sa‘d narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Musa ibn Sarjis, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from Aishah, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as he was dying. There was beside him a cup containing water. He would put his hand into the cup, then wipe his face with the water, and say: ‘O Allah, help me through the agonies of death.’
