About the illness of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , she said, "He complained and he used to breathe heavily. We used to compare his breath to the breath of a person who had eaten raisins. He used to rotate between his wives. When his illness worsened, he sought permission from them to be treated by me and they would take turns nursing him. So, he was given permission, and he came to me while leaning on two legs, with one of them being the Abbas. I mentioned this to Ibn Abbas, and he said, 'Didn't the other part inform you?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'It was Ali.'"

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ

عَنْ مَرَضِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتِ اشْتَكَى فَعَلَقَ يَنْفِثُ فَكُنَّا نُشَبِّهُ نَفْثَهُ بِنَفْثِ أَكَلِ الزَّبِيبِ وَكَانَ يَدُورُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّ الْمَرَضُ اسْتَأْذَنَهُنَّ أَنْ يُمَرَّضَ عِنْدِي وَيَدُرْنَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَّ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ وَهُوَ يَتَّكِئُ عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ تَخُطُّ رِجْلَاهُ الْأَرْضَ خَطًّا أَحَدُهُمَا الْعَبَّاسُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ تُخْبِرْكَ مِنَ الْآخَرُ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ هُوَ عَلِيٌّ
