Sunan Ibn Majah 1625
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ سَفِينَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ " الصَّلاَةَ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ " . فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّى مَا يَفِيضَ بِهَا لِسَانُهُ .

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us; Hammam narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Salih Abu al-Khalil, from Safinah, from Umm Salamah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say during the illness in which he died: ‘The prayer, and those whom your right hands possess.’ He continued saying it until his tongue could no longer articulate it.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The paired wording ‘the prayer, and those whom your right hands possess’ is retained closely, without supplying an explanatory interpretation.
The closing phrase is rendered as his tongue no longer being able to articulate the words.
