9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shrouded in three white garments made of coarse kurshed fabric, which did not include a shirt or a turban. As for the garment, it was only similar to what people perceived as a garment that was bought for him to be shrouded in. The garment was left, so Abdullah bin Abu Bakr took it and said, "I will keep it for myself until I am shrouded in it." Then he said, "If Allah ﷻ had been pleased with it for His Prophet ﷺ, He would have shrouded him in it." So he sold it and donated its price.
كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ مِنْ كُرْسُفٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ فَأَمَّا الْحُلَّةُ فَإِنَّمَا شُبِّهَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِيهَا أَنَّهَا اشْتُرِيَتْ لَهُ حُلَّةٌ لِيُكَفَّنَ فِيهَا فَتُرِكَتِ الْحُلَّةُ فَأَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَأَحْبِسَنَّهَا لِنَفْسِي حَتَّى أُكَفَّنَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ رَضِيَهَا اللهُ ﷻ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ لَكَفَّنَهُ فِيهَا فَبَاعَهَا وَتَصَدَّقَ بِثَمَنِهَا
I would be shrouded in it, but then said: How is it that I should be shrouded in it in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not shrouded! So he gave it in charity. (Using translation from Muslim 941b)
أُدْرِجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي حُلَّةٍ يَمَنِيَّةٍ كَانَتْ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ نُزِعَتْ عَنْهُ وَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا عِمَامَةٌ وَلَا قَمِيصٌ فَرَفَعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْحُلَّةَ وَقَالَ أُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَمْ يُكَفَّنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا
“They used to claim that he was shrouded in Hibarah.” ‘Aishah said: “They brought a Hibarah Burd, but they did not shroud him in it.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1469)
ﷺ كُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ إِنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ كُفِّنَ فِي بُرْدِ حِبَرَةٍ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ قَدْ جَاءُوا بِبُرْدِ حِبَرَةٍ وَلَمْ يُكَفِّنُوهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was wearing a garment made of hibara (a type of cloth), but he later took it off. Al-Qasim said, "We still have some remnants of that garment." The sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "The one who sold Abdullah ibn Abu Bakr and donated its price, is the one who was wearing the garment. And the garment they had is two garments, as al-Qasim said that its remnants are with us, it is the third garment in which they claimed he was shrouded. Aisha clarified with a clear explanation that the two garments they called "hullat" and the coolness of hibara were brought, but he was not shrouded in them. Instead, he was shrouded in three white garments, without a shirt or a turban. Allah knows best.
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ثَوْبِ حِبَرَةٍ ثُمَّ أُخِّرَ عَنْهُ قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ إِنَّ بَقَايَا ذَلِكَ الثَّوْبِ عِنْدَنَا بَعْدُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَالَّذِي بَاعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَتَصَدَّقَ بِثَمَنِهِ هُوَ الْحُلَّةَ وَالْحُلَّةُ عِنْدَهُمْ ثَوْبَانِ وَالَّذِي قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ إِنَّ بَقَايَاهُ عِنْدَنَا هُوَ الثَّوْبُ الثَّالِثُ الَّذِي زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ كُفِّنَ فِيهِمَا وَفِيهِ فَبَيَّنَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ بَيَانًا شَافِيًا أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِالثَّوْبَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنَ كَانُوا يُسَمُّونَهُمَا حُلَّةً وَبِبُرْدِ حِبَرَةٍ فَلَمْ يُكَفَّنْ فِيهَا وَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ كُرْسُفٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
