When the sick have renounced all hope of life

[أللّهُـمَّ اغْفِـرْ لي وَارْحَمْـني وَأَلْحِقْـني بِالرَّفـيقِ الأّعْلـى.

Allahummagh-fir lee, warhamnee wa-alhiqnee birrafeeqil-aAAla.

‘O Allah, forgive me, have mercy upon me and unite me with the higher companions.’

Refer to the Quran, chapter 4, verse: 69.

, AAaishah رضي الله عنهاrelated that the Prophet (saws)(during his illness in which he passed away) would dip his hands in water and then he would wipe his face and say:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله، إِنَّ للمَـوْتِ لَسَكَـرات.

La ilaha illal-lah, inna lilmawti lasakarat.

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

, لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَاللّهُ أَكْبَـر، لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وحْـدَهُ لا شَريكَ لهُ، لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ لهُ المُلكُ ولهُ الحَمْد، لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَلا حَـوْلَ وَلا قُـوَّةَ إِلاّ بِالله.

La ilaha illal-lah, wallahu akbar, la ilaha illal-lahu wahdah, la shareeka lah, la ilaha illal-lahu lahul-mulku walahul-hamd, la ilaha illal-lah, wala hawla wala quwwata illa billah.

‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah and Allah is the greatest.None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone.None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner.None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise.None has the right to be worshipped except Allah and there is no might and no power except with Allah.’]
