Is it true that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, commanded during his illness that water be brought to him from different wells, and that he poured it over his head?

In al-Bukhari, it is narrated on the authority of Aisha that the the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, after his pain intensified, said: "Pour over me water from seven water skins whose drawstrings have not been untied, so that I may give instructions to the people." And in a narration by Al-Tabarani and Ibn Ishaq: "from various wells." Al-Albani authenticated this addition.
