Dua for the Terminally Ill (Invocations of the terminally ill, 2 of 3)

'Aa.ishah radhi-yAllaahu'anhaa related that The Prophet sal-Allaahu'alayhe wa sallam [during his illness in which he passed away] would dip his hands in water and then he would wipe his face and say:

Lā ilāha illā llāhu inna lilmawti sakarāt

‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, death does indeed contain agony.’
