[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said: When they wanted to wash the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , they disagreed about it. They said, "By Allah, we do not know how to proceed. Should we undress the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as we undress our dead or should we wash him while he is still wearing his clothes?" Aisha said: So when they disagreed, Allah sent down rain as a sign upon them, to the extent that every person among them tasted it in their chest while sleeping. She said: Then Allah addressed them from the direction of the house that they did not know who it was, and He said, "Wash the Prophet ﷺ and his clothes." She said: So they rushed to him and washed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was wearing his shirt, and water and sidr were poured over him, and men massaged him with his shirt. She used to say, "If I had known how to handle this matter, I would have delayed washing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except by his wives."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَمَّا أَرَادُوا غُسْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَقَالُوا وَاللهِ مَا نَدْرِي كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ؟ أَنُجَرِّدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا نُجَرِّدُ مَوْتَانَا أَمْ نُغَسِّلُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ؟ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا اخْتَلَفُوا أَرْسَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّنَةَ حَتَّى وَاللهِ مَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ إِلَّا ذَقْنُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ نَائِمًا قَالَتْ ثُمَّ كَلَّمَهُمْ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ لَايَدْرُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فَقَالَ اغْسِلُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ قَالَتْ فَثَارُوا إِلَيْهِ فَغَسَّلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي قَمِيصِهِ يُفَاضُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ وَالسِّدْرُ وَيُدَلِّكُهُ الرِّجَالُ بِالْقَمِيصِ وَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ لَوْ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا نِسَاؤُهُ  

[Machine] "We wanted to wash the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , but the people had a disagreement regarding it. Some of them said, 'We should strip the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as we strip our dead or wash him while his clothes are on.' So Allah revealed the Sunnah upon them until every single one of them had fallen asleep with his chin on his chest. Then someone from the direction of the Ka'bah said, 'Don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is to be washed with his clothes on?' So they washed him while his shirt was on, pouring water over it and rubbing it gently over him. Aisha said, 'By Allah, if I did not know that it was from the order of Allah, I would not have washed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except for his garments.'"  

أَرَدْنَا غُسْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاخْتَلَفَ الْقَوْمُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنُجَرِّدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا نُجَرِّدُ مَوْتَانَا أَوْ نُغَسِّلُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ فَأَلْقَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهُمُ السُّنَّةَ حَتَّى مَا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا نَائِمٌ ذَقْنُهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ أَمَا تَدْرُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُغَسَّلُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ؟ فَغَسَّلُوهُ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ يَصُبُّونَ الْمَاءَ عَلَيْهِ وَيُدَلِّكُونَهُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَّا نِسَاؤُهُ»  

[Machine] When they gathered to wash the Messenger of Allah (may ﷺ ), they disagreed among themselves. They said, "By Allah, we do not know if we should undress the Messenger of Allah (may ﷺ ) as we undress our dead or wash him while he is wearing his clothes." Allah then sent sleep upon them until all of them tasted it, and then a caller from a side of the house called out, "Do they not know what to do with washing the Messenger of Allah (may ﷺ ) and his clothes?" So they rushed towards him like a single man and washed the Messenger of Allah (may ﷺ ) and his clothes, pouring water on him and massaging him from behind the clothes. And the one who assisted him in his chamber was Ali bin Abi Talib, who supported him against his chest. She (the narrator) said, "I did not see anything from the Messenger of Allah (may ﷺ ) that was seen from the dead."  

لَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا لِغُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ اخْتَلَفُوا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَدْرِي أَنُجَرِّدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا نُجَرِّدُ مَوْتَانَا أَوْ نُغَسِّلُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ؟ قَالَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّوْمَ حَتَّى إِنَّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ إِلَّا ذَقْنُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ مَا يَدْرُونَ مَا هُوَ أَنِ اغْسِلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ قَالَ فَوَثَبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَثْبَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ فَغَسَّلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ يَصُبُّونَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ وَيُدَلِّكُونَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْقَمِيصِ وَكَانَ الَّذِي أَجْلَسَهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَسْنَدَهُ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ قَالَتْ «فَمَا رُئِيَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا يُرَى مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ»  

[Machine] There was a disagreement among the people regarding the washing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Some said, "Shall we undress the Messenger of Allah ﷺ like how we undress our deceased or wash him with his clothes on?" So Allah revealed the verse of the Quran upon them, and there was not a single one of them who was not asleep when their chin tasted their chest. Then some people said from the direction of the house, "What do they think he is? Wash the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his clothes." So they washed him and his garment, pouring water on him and massaging him from above. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "By Allah, if I had known what was happening, I would not have allowed them to wash the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except with his clothes on." Abu Ali Ar-Rudhbary narrated to us, who informed us that Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to him, who narrated to Abu Dawood, who narrated to An-Nufayliyy, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Salamah, who narrated to me from Yahya ibn Abbad, who narrated from his father, Abbad ibn Abdullah ibn Az-Zubair, who said, "I heard Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) say..." Then he mentioned the narration except that he said, "So they washed him and his garment, pouring water on the garment and massaging him with the garment without using their hands."  

غُسْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ اخْتَلَفَ الْقَوْمُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنُجَرِّدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ ثِيَابِهِ كَمَا نُجَرِّدُ مَوْتَانَا أَوْ نُغَسِّلُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ؟ فَأَلْقَى الله عَلَيْهِمُ السِّنَةَ حَتَّى مَا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا نَائِمٌ ذَقْنُهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ مَا يَدْرُونَ مَا هُوَ اغْسِلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ فَغَسَّلُوهُ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ يَصُبُّونَ الْمَاءَ عَلَيْهِ وَيُدَلِّكُونَهُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ وَايْمُ اللهِ لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا نِسَاؤُهُ 6622 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا النُّفَيْلِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ؓ تَقُولُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَغَسَّلُوهُ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ يَصُبُّونَ الْمَاءَ فَوْقَ الْقَمِيصِ وَيُدَلِّكُونَهُ بِالْقَمِيصِ دُونَ أَيْدِيهِمْ
