Both transmitters named Muʿallā are regarded as trustworthy (1).

Muʿādhah al-ʿAdawiyyah narrated: “I once saw ʿĀʾishah wrapped in a yellow mantle (2).”

Al-Wāqidī reported: Ibn Abī al-Zinād told us, from Hishām, from his father, who said, “ʿĀʾishah would sometimes recite a poem of sixty lines or even more (3).”

Misʿar related, from Ḥammād, from Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī, that ʿĀʾishah said, “Would that I were a leaf on this tree! (4)”

Ibn ʿUlayyah narrated, through Ayyūb, from Ibn Abī Mulaykah, who said:

“ʿĀʾishah said: ‘The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—passed away in my house, on my day and my night, his head resting between my chest and my throat. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Bakr then entered carrying a fresh siwāk. He looked at it intently, and I sensed that he wanted it. I took it, chewed its tip to soften it, shaped it, scented it, and handed it to him; he brushed his teeth with it more perfectly than I have ever seen anyone do.

‘He then tried to raise it back to me, but his hand fell. I began to pray for him with a supplication that Gabriel used to offer for him, and that he himself would recite when he was ill, though he did not recite it during this final illness.

‘He lifted his gaze toward the sky and said, “Rather, the Highest Companion,” whereupon his soul departed.

‘Praise be to Allah who joined my saliva with his saliva on the last day of his life in this world (5).’”
