When Abu Talib died, I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Your paternal uncle, the old man, has died. He said: “Go and bury him, then do not do anything about his affairs until you come to me.” So I went and buried him, then I came to him and he said: ʿGo and do ghusl, then do not do anything until you come to me.” So I did ghusl, then I came to him and he offered duʿaʿ for me, and I would not be happy if I had red and black camels instead of that. Ibn Bakkar said in his Hadeeth: as-Suddi said: And ‘Ali ؓ used to do ghusl when he had washed a deceased person.  

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ وَلا تُحْدِثْ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَلا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَدَعَا لِي بِدَعَوَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي بِهِنَّ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ وَسُودُهَا وقَالَ ابْنُ بَكَّارٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ السُّدِّىُّ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ إِذَا غَسَلَ مَيِّتًا اغْتَسَلَ  

[Machine] When Abu Talib died, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him, "Indeed, your uncle, the misguided old man, has died." He said, "Go and wash him and do not say anything until you come to me." So, I washed him and then I went to him (the Prophet) and said, "I have washed him." He commanded me, so I performed the ritual washing (ghusl).  

لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ مُشْرِكًا قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ وَلَا تُحَدِّثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي « فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ وَارَيْتُهُ فَأَمَرَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ»  

" عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ أبُو طَالِبٍ أتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقَالَ: انْطَلِقْ فَوَارِهِ، ثُمَّ لاَ تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأتيَنِى، فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أتيْتُهُ فَأَمَرَنِى فَاغْتَسَلتُ ثُمَّ دَعَا لِى بِدعَوَاتٍ مَا أُحِبُ أَنَّ لى بِهِنَّ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ".
