9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in when his daughter died, and he said: Wash her with water and lotus leaves three or five times or more than that if you think fit, and put camphor, or some camphor in the last washing, then inform me when you finish. When we had finished we informed him, and he threw us his lower garment saying: Put it next to her body. Malik's version has: that is, his lower garment (izar); and Musaddad did not say: He entered in. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3142)
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَتُهُ فَقَالَ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانَا حِقْوَهُ فَقَالَ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ تَعْنِي الْإِزَارَ
[Machine] She said that one of the daughters of the Prophet ﷺ had passed away, so he came to us and said, "Wash her with water and Sidr (a type of plant), and wash her odd number of times, three, five, or more than that if you see it necessary, and mix camphor or something of camphor in the burial shroud. Then, inform me when you have finished." She said, "So when we finished, we informed him, and he threw his cloak over us and said, 'Cover her with it.' Umm Atiyyah said, 'So we braided her hair into three braids and laid her in her grave, with her face down, her right side, and her left side.' Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, narrating from Ahmad ibn Ja'far al-Qattii'i, narrating from Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal, narrating from my father, who narrated from Yahya ibn Sa'id and Yazid ibn Harun, they both said that Hisham reported the hadith in a similar manner."
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَانَا فَقَالَ اغْسِلْنَهَا بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ فَقَالَ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ قَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ فَضَفَّرْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ ثُمَّ أَلْقَيْنَا خَلْفَهَا مُقَدِّمَتَهَا وَقَرْنَيْهَا وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَا أنبأ هِشَامٌ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ
Um 'Atiyya said, "One of the daughters of the Prophet ﷺ died and he came out and said, 'Wash her three or five times or more, if you think it necessary, with water and Sidr, and last of all put camphor (or some camphor) and when you finish, inform me.' " Um Atiyya added, "When we finished we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and said, 'Shroud her in it.' " And Um 'Atiyya (in another narration) added, "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Wash her three, five or seven times or more, if you think it necessary.' " Hafsa said that Um 'Atiyya had also said, "We entwined her hair into three braids." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1258)
تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ وَجَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ
[Machine] About Umm Atiyyah, it is narrated that she would wash the deceased twice with sidr (lote tree) and the third time with water and camphor. It is also mentioned about Abdullah bin Umar that his father advised him, saying, "O my son, when I die, wash me with water as a complete wash." Ata narrated that one wash is sufficient for washing the deceased. Umar bin Abdul Aziz said, "There is nothing specific regarding the limit of time for washing the deceased." Ibrahim mentioned that if sidr is not found, it does not harm. The companions of Abdullah used to say, "The deceased is washed odd number of times, then shrouded odd number of times, then it is wrapped in a shroud and tied with a piece of cloth."
عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ يَغْسِلُ بِالسِّدْرِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَالثَّالِثَةَ بِالْمَاءِ وَالْكَافُورِ 6634 وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْصَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِذَا مِتُّ فَاغْسِلْنِي بِالْمَاءِ غَسْلَةً 6634 وَعَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ يُجْزِئُ فِي غُسْلِ الْمَيِّتِ مَرَّةٌ 6634 وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ مُوَقَّتٌ 6634 وَعَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ سِدْرًا قَالَ لَا يَضُرُّهُ وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُونَ الْمَيِّتُ يُغْسَلُ وِتْرًا وَيُكَفَّنُ وِتْرًا وَيُجْمَرُ وِتْرًا
[Machine] Al-Sharif Al-Imam Abu Al-Fath Al-Umari informed us that Abdul Rahman Al-Shurayhi reported that Al-Baghawi narrated from Ali ibn Al-Jaad that Shu'bah reported from Hammad, from Ibrahim, from the companions of Abdullah who said, "The deceased is washed with an odd number of washes, shrouded with an odd number of shrouds, and buried with an odd number of twigs."
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّرِيفُ الْإِمَامُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ الْعُمَرِيُّ أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الشُّرَيْحِيُّ أنبأ الْبَغَوِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ أنبأ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالُوا الْمَيِّتُ يُغَسَّلُ وِتْرًا وَيُكَفَّنُ وِتْرًا وَيُجْمَرُ وِتْرًا
