[Machine] I entered upon Khabbab and he was suffering from seven diseases. He said, "If it were not for the fact that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that no one of you should wish for death, I would have wished for it. And indeed, I have seen myself with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I did not possess a single dirham. Yet, now in my house I have forty thousand dirhams." Khabbab then instructed for his shroud to be brought, and when he saw it, he cried and said, "But Hamzah did not have anything for his shroud except a Burdah (thick woolen garment) that would cover his head and leave his feet exposed. And when it was placed on his feet, it would uncover his head, until it could be stretched over his head, and then it would leave his feet uncovered. And on his feet was a piece of cloth called Al-Idhkir."  

أحمد:٢٧٢١٩حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ قَالَ

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى خَبَّابٍ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَتَمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَمْلِكُ دِرْهَمًا وَإِنَّ فِي جَانِبِ بَيْتِي الْآنَ لَأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِكَفَنِهِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ بَكَى وَقَالَ لَكِنَّ حَمْزَةَ لَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ كَفَنٌ إِلَّا بُرْدَةٌ مَلْحَاءُ إِذَا جُعِلَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ قَلَصَتْعَنْ قَدَمَيْهِ وَإِذَا جُعِلَتْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ قَلَصَتْ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى مُدَّتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَجُعِلَ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ الْإِذْخِرُ

[Machine] I entered upon Khabbab and found him afflicted with seven wounds. He said, "If it were not for the fact that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'None of you should wish for death,' I would have wished for it. By Allah! I have seen myself beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I couldn't even afford a single dirham. But now, I have forty thousand dirhams in my house." He then called for his burial shroud, and when he saw it, he wept and said, "However, Hamzah had nothing for his shroud except a madda'ah (a coarse garment) that would cover his head but fall short of his feet, and when it was put on his feet, it would fall short of his head, until it was placed upon his head, and the izhaar (a kind of shroud) was placed upon his feet."

[Machine] We entered upon Khubbab, then he came with his shroud. When Khubbab saw it, he cried and then said, "But Hamza did not have a shroud except for a cloth. When it was placed on his head, it covered his feet, and when it was placed on his feet, it covered his head until it reached his head, and on his feet was al-Idhkir."
