the other man?” I said, “No.” He said, “It was ʿAli.” ʿAʾishah—may Allah be pleased with her—would relate that, after the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had entered her house and his illness had become severe, he said: … and he then mentioned it (1).

Muslim also narrated it (2/20–21), as did al-Bukhari (687), in abbreviated form, through Musa ibn Abi ʿAʾishah, from ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUtbah, from ʿAʾishah, within the same account and with similar wording. However, he confined himself to the Prophet’s saying, peace and blessings be upon him:

“Put water in the basin for me.”

Ibn Hibban (6599), al-Hakim (1/145), Ibn Khuzaymah (258), al-Nasaʾi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (7082), al-Darimi (1/38), ʿAbd al-Razzaq (179), Abu Yaʿla (4770), al-Tabarani in al-Awsat (6714), and Ibn ʿAdi in al-Kamil (6/2438) narrated it through three routes from ʿUrwah, from ʿAʾishah, attributed to the Prophet, with the wording:
