أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي - قَالَتْ - وَدَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3625
This short hadith gives Aishah’s direct account of the Prophet’s final moments. She says that the Messenger of Allah died when no one was with him except her. She also says that he called for a vessel. The narration is brief and does not provide further details, so its explanation should remain equally careful. The main search topic is the Prophet’s death with Aishah present. Her statement places her beside him at the time of his passing and records one final request mentioned in this report. The hadith does not discuss inheritance rules or name a successor. It simply preserves Aishah’s testimony about who was present and what the Prophet called for. Its strength is in that direct, personal description without added claims.
What we learn from this hadith
- Aishah says she was the only person with the Prophet when he died.
- The Prophet called for a vessel in the final moments described.
- The report is brief and should not be made to say more than it states.
- Aishah’s direct testimony is the main focus of the narration.
