26 – Ḥammād narrated, from Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī, from ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “What makes the approach of death easier for me is that I saw you as my wife in Paradise.” He then turned and added, “Death has been lightened for me because I have seen ʿĀʾishah in Paradise.”
