9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, Umar ibn Al-Khattab was the most scared of all people. He mentioned the conversation until he said, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ die?" He said, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died." They said, "O companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who will wash him?" He said, "The closest men from his family." They said, "O companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , where will you bury him?" He said, "Bury him in the spot where Allah took him, for He took him in the dearest of spots to him."
لَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ مِنْ أَجْزَعِ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ عَلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ فَقَالُوا يَعْنِي لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ يَا صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ أَمَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ يُغَسِّلُهُ؟ قَالَ رِجَالُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْأَدْنَى فَالْأَدْنَى قَالُوا يَا صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ فَأَيْنَ تَدْفِنُهُ؟ قَالَ ادْفِنُوهُ فِي الْبُقْعَةِ الَّتِي قَبَضَهُ اللهُ فِيهَا لَمْ يَقْبِضْهُ إِلَّا فِي أَحَبِّ الْبِقَاعِ إِلَيْهِ
[Machine] The Prophet (PBUH) was washed three times with sidr tree leaves, and his garment was washed as well. He was also washed from a well called Al-Ghars in Quba, which belonged to Sa'd bin Khaythama. The Prophet (PBUH) used to drink from it, while Ali would pour water on him, and Al-Fadhl would hold him. Al-Abbas would pour water and Al-Fadhl would say, "Leave me, you have cut my skin with your fingernail. Indeed, I can feel something dripping on me."
غُسِّلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا بِالسِّدْرِ وَغُسِّلَ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ وَغُسِّلَ مِنْ بِئْرٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْغَرْسُ بِقُبَاءَ كَانَتْ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ خَيْثَمَةَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا وَوَلَّى سُفْلَتَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَالْفَضْلُ مُحْتَضِنُهُ وَالْعَبَّاسُ يَصُبُّ الْمَاءَ فَجَعَلَ الْفَضْلُ يَقُولُ أَرِحْنِي قَطَعْتَ وَتِينِي إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ شَيْئًا يَتَرَطَّلُ عَلَيَّ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever is entrusted with washing a deceased person and fulfills the trust by covering what is with him, will be free of sin as the day his mother gave birth to him." He also said, "The closest among you to him at night is the one who knows him. If he does not know him, then a man known to be pious and trustworthy."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ وَلِيَ غُسْلَ مَيِّتٍ فَأَدَّى فِيهِ الْأَمَانَةَ يَعْنِي يَسْتُرُ مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ قَالَتْ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِيَلِهِ أَقْرَبُكُمْ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَرَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ تَدْرُونَ أَنَّ عِنْدَهُ وَرَعًا وَأَمَانَةً
