What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "The general will of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, when death approached him and his soul was gurgling, was: (Prayer and what your right hands possess)," and how can it be reconciled with what was reported by Aisha regarding the death of the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him?

The Prophet's will, peace and blessings be upon him, before his death was: "Prayer and what your right hands possess." This was his will near his death when his illness became severe and speaking became difficult for him. His voice resonated in his chest, and his tongue could barely articulate it. The hadith indicates that it was among his last wills, without being his very last words.
