The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) died with his head resting between my chest and my neck. When his soul departed (his body), it smelled like the best scent I have ever smelled

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها ، قالت: «قُبِض رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ورأسُه بين سَحْري ونَحْري»، قالت: «فلمَّا خَرَجَتْ نفْسُه، لم أَجِدْ ريحا قَطُّ أطْيَبَ منها».
‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) died with his head resting between my chest and my neck. When his soul departed (his body), it smelled like the best scent I have ever smelled.
