'A'isha (ra), the wife of the Apostle (may
peace be upon him), said: When the
Messenger of ALLAH (may peace be upon him)
fell ill and his illness became serious, he asked
permission from his wives to stay in my
house during his illness. They gave him
permission to do so. He stepped out
(of'A'isha's apartment for prayer) supported
by two persons. (He was so much weak) that
his feet dragged on the ground and he was
being supported by 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib
(ra) and another person. 'Ubaidullah said: I
informed 'Abdullah (b. 'Abbas) about that
which 'A'isha had said. 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas
said: Do you know the man whose name
'A'isha did not mention? He said: No. Ibn
'Abbas said: It was 'Ali (ra).
