Sucking tongue before death

The Quran

The Quran testifies that the exalted Prophet had sublime morals and that he was a role model for all mankind.

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
And indeed, you are of a great moral character. (Sura Al-Qalam: 4)
لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا
There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often. (Sura Al-Ahzab: 21)


Sahih Al-Bukhari

Sahih Bukhari Volume 007, Book 062, Hadith No. 144
Book 62. Wedlock, Marriage (Nikah)
Narrated By 'Aisha : That during his fatal ailment, Allah's Apostle, used to ask his wives, "Where shall I stay tomorrow? Where shall I stay tomorrow?" He was looking forward to 'Aisha's turn. So all his wives allowed him to stay where he wished, and he stayed at 'Aisha's house till he died there. 'Aisha added: He died on the day of my usual turn at my house. Allah took him unto Him while his head was between my chest and my neck and his saliva was mixed with my saliva.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 004, Book 053, Hadith No. 332
Book 53. One-Fifth Of Booty to the Cause Of

Narated By Ibn Abu Mulaika : 'Aisha said, "The Prophet died in my house on the day of my turn while he was leaning on my chest closer to my neck, and Allah made my saliva mix with his Saliva." 'Aisha added, "'AbdurRahman came with a Siwak and the Prophet was too weak to use it so I took it, chewed it and then (gave it to him and he) cleaned his teeth with it."

Question

According to the hadith, both were sucking tongue of each other a second just before death. "Allah made my saliva mix with his Saliva". What message the hadith wants to give to people? The pain before death or the kissing? Do you think a person who is usually in highest pain just before death will involve in such kind of activity?


One must ask, whose authenticity is in question here?
The "Prophet" or the "Compiler"?

Upon which verses rests your Faith or Imaan?
The Al-Qur’an or Al-Bukhari?
