Hadith 152

Hisn al-Muslim

Chapter 51

When the sick have renounced all hope of life

دعاء المريض الذي يئس من حياته

جعل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عند موته يدخل يديه في الماء فيمسح بهما وجههُ ويقول : لا إله إلا الله إن للموت لسكرات
As he was dying, the Prophet (ﷺ) dipped his hands in water and wiped his face saying:

Lā ilāha illallāh inna li ‘lmawti la’sakarāt. There is none worthy of worship but Allah, surely death has agonies. Reference: Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 8/144. The Hadith also mention him using the Siivak (tooth stick).
