I used to hear (from the Prophet ﷺ) that no Prophet (ﷺ) dies till he is given the option to select either the worldly life or the life of the Hereafter. I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) in his fatal disease, with his voice becoming hoarse, saying, In the company of those on whom Allâh has bestowed His Grace... (to the end of the Verse)." (V.4:69) Thereupon I thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) had been given the option. [5:719-O.B]
