قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا مَا أَسْمَعُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْبِضْ نَبِيًّا حَتَّى يُخَيِّرَهُ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا حُضِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ آخِرُ كَلِمَةٍ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ بَلْ الرَّفِيقُ الْأَعْلَى مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِذًا وَاللَّهِ لَا يَخْتَارُنَا وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُولُ لَنَا إِنَّ نَبِيًّا لَا يُقْبَضُ حَتَّى يُخَيَّرَ.

Ibn Ishaq said: Ibn Shihab said: Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba narrated to me, from Aisha, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, I often heard him say, "God never takes a prophet's soul until He gives him the choice." She said: When the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, was in his final hours, the last words I heard from him were as he said, "Rather, the Highest Companion, from Paradise." She said: I said, "Then, by God, he will not choose us," and I knew that he was the one who used to tell us, "No prophet's soul is taken until he is given the choice."
