’Ata’ narrated that

Maimoonah the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ), the maternal aunt of Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه), died. He ['Ata'] said: I went with him to Sarif. He praised and glorified Allah, then he said: She is the Mother of the Believers, do not shake her; be gentle with her, for the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) had nine wives, and he used to give a share of his time to eight and did not give a share of his time to the ninth - meaning Safiyyah bint Huyay. 'Ata' said: She was the last of them to die; she died in Madinah.

It was narrated from Dhakwan, the freed slave of 'A'ishah, that

'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) asked for permission to enter upon 'A'ishah when she was dying and her brother's son, 'Abdullah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman, was with her. He said: Ibn 'Abbas is here, asking for permission to enter upon you, and he is one of the best of your children. She said: Keep Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) and his praise away from me. ‘Abdullah bin 'Abdur-Rahman said to her: He has great knowledge of the Book of Allah and is a scholar of the religion of Allah; let him in so that he can greet you with salam and bid you farewell. She said: Let him in if you want. So he let him in and Ibn 'Abbas came in then he said salam and sat down and said: Be of good cheer, O Mother of the believers, for by Allah, there is nothing between you and being free of all pain and harm and meeting the beloved ones, Muhammad and his party, except the departure of your soul from your body. She said: And? Ibn 'Abbas said: You were the dearest of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to him, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would not have loved anyone but one who was good. Allah revealed news of your innocence from above seven heavens, and there is no mosque on earth in which it is not recited by night and by day. Your necklace was lost on the night of al-Abwa', and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stayed in the camp, and the people with him, to look for it until, in the morning the people had no water. Then Allah revealed the words "perform Tayammum with clean earth" [an-Nisa 4:43]. And that was a concession for all, and that was thanks to you. By Allah, you are blessed. She said: Leave me alone, O Ibn 'Abbas. By Allah, would that I had been forgotten and out of sight! (cf. 19:23).

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting in the shade of his apartment - Yahya said: The shade was receding - and he said to his Companions: "A man will come to you who looks at you with the eye of a devil. When you see him, do not speak to him.” Then a man with bleary eyes came in and when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw him he called him and said: “Why are you and your companions reviling me?” He said: Wait here until I bring them to you. He went and brought them, and they started swearing by Allah that they had not said that and they have not done that. Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together (for their account) then they will swear to Him and they swear to you (O Muslim). And they think that they have something (to stand upon) varily, they are liars..." (al-Mujadilah 58.14).
