When the sick have renounced all hope of life (2)

جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ يُدْخِلُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَيَقُولُ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ لَسَكَرَاتٍ

As he was dying, the Prophet (ﷺ) dipped his hands in water and wiped his face saying: Lā ilāha illallāh inna li ‘lmawti la’sakarāt.

There is none worthy of worship but Allah, surely death has agonies.

Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 8/144. The Hadith also mention him using the Siivak (tooth stick).
