ahmad:24122Sufyān > Hishām from his father

[Machine] "Aisha covered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in three white cotton garments. Abu Bakr asked me, 'What was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ shrouded in?' I replied, 'In three garments.' He said, 'Shroud me in these two garments and buy another garment.'"

أحمد:٢٤١٢٢حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ كُفِّنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ بِيضٍ وَقَالَ لِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي أَيِّ شَيْءٍ كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟قُلْتُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ قَالَ كَفِّنُونِي فِي ثَوْبَيَّ هَذَيْنِ وَاشْتَرُوا ثَوْبًا آخَرَ
