13. HER DEATH
Her life span prolonged twenty-two years after that battle until she died in the era of Mawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan. During this period she did not participate in any event any more. She died on Tuesday night, 17th of Ramadan, 58 AH, and she was sixty-eight or sixty-seven.
When she was on her death-bed, Allah ibn asked her admittance. She gave him her admission. He entered upon her and said, “l bring glad tidings to you.” “What are these?” She replied. He said, “Nothing stands in between you and meeting Muhammad and your beloved ones except that your soul comes out of your body. Also, you were the most beloved wife to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) who only loved goodness. Your necklace got lost on the night of al-Abwa and thus the Messenger of Allah along with people woke up to find no water in their possession. Admittedly, it was because of you that Almighty Allah has revealed the (Qur’anic) verse of dry ablution as a concession to this Ummah. Almighty Allah has revealed your innocence from the top of the seven heavens via the Truthful Spirit (Gabriel) and accordingly your innocence will be recited throughout day and night in all mosques until the Day of Judgment.” She (may Allah be pleased with her) said, “O Ibn Abbas! By the one in whose hand is my soul, I wish I were a thing forgotten.
In fact, this is an example of piety and devoutness. The Mother of the Believers, A’ishah, (may Allah be pleased with her) recalled the Hereafter in her heart forgetting all her virtues mentioned by Ibn (may Allah be pleased with him). This, in effect, is a proof of the strength of faith and the steadfastness of conviction.)
Her pure spirit came out on Tuesday night 17th of Ramadan, 58 AH. She, previously, commended to be buried at al-Baqt by night. For, prior to that, she had preferred ibn al-Khattab to herself permitting him to be buried with his two Companions (the Prophet and Abu Bakr in her house).
Imam adh-Dhahabi states, in Siyar A Tim an-Nubala’, that 
People gathered from here and there to perform the funeral prayer on her, which was led by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with Her Virtues (may Allah be pleased with her) enjoyed so many virtues that cannot be counted here. In this regard, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “Many amongst men reached (the level of) perfection but none amongst women reached this level except Asiyah, Pharaoh’s wife, and Maryam bint Imran. And no doubt, the superiority of ‘ishah to other women is like the superiority of Thiarid (i.e. a meat and bread dish) to other meals.”
A Wife in the World Life and in the Hereafter
Imam adh-Dhahaby said, “We bear witness that she is the wife of our Prophet (peace be upon him) in this world and the Hereafter. Is there anything superior than that?” With regard to this topic, delivered a sermon in which he said, “Admittedly, she is his wife in this world and the Hereafter.
The Prophet’s love for A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was very obvious. A’ishah reported, “Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said to me, ‘I know that when you are pleased with me and when you are annoyed with me.’ I said, ‘How do you know it?’ Thereupon, he said, ‘When you are pleased with me you say; ‘No, by the Lord of Muhammad, and when you are annoyed with me, you say, No, by the Lord of Ibrahim. ‘ I said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger! By Allah, I leave only your name (when I am annoyed with you).
Eventually, lady A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) set a good model for the Muslim women with regard to good morals.
