There was a leather or wood container full of water in front of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (at the time of his
death). He would put his hand into the water and rub his face with it, saying, “None has the right to be

“(O Allah!) with the highest companions.” (See Qur’an 4:69) (and kept on saying it) till he expired and
his hand dropped.”
