QUESTION: Sunni authentic Hadiths state that the Prophet (PBUH) passed away in the arms of his wife, however first-hand narrations from Ali (RA) claimed that he passed away in his arms – “The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) breathed his last while resting against my chest.”. This narration, as far as I know, has been repeated in many collections. How do Sunnis view this?
