Riyad as-Salihin, 911
`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
While the Prophet (ﷺ) was reclining against me (during his last illness) I heard him saying: "Allahumma-ghfir li, warhamni, wa alhiqni bir Rafiqil-A`la (O Allah, forgive me, bestow Your Mercy on me and let me join with the exalted companions.'' <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم وهو مستند إلي يقول: اللهم اغفر لي وارحمني وألحقني بالرفيق الأعلى" ((متفق عليه)).
