[Machine] To forgive the polytheists even if they were close kin. [Surah At-Tawbah 113]  

أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى} [التوبة 113] الْآيَةَ  

[Machine] He said, "You don't have to wash your dead if you have already washed them." And it was narrated to us from 'Ata and Sa'id ibn Jubayr on the authority of ibn 'Abbas, 6668, and it was also narrated to us from another source from 'Ata on the authority of ibn 'Abbas in a marfu' narration, "Don't make your dead impure, for a Muslim is not impure whether alive or dead." And it was narrated to us in that regard from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, ibn 'Umar, ibn Mas'ud, and 'Aisha, and all of that is mentioned in the book of purification.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي مَيِّتِكُمْ غُسْلٌ إِذَا غَسَّلْتُمُوهُ وَرُوِّينَا فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ 6668 وَرُوِّينَا مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَرْفُوعًا لَا تُنَجِّسُوا مَوْتَاكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَيْسَ بِنَجِسٍ حَيًّا وَلَا مَيِّتًا وَرُوِّينَا فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَقَدْ مَضَى جَمِيعُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ الطَّهَارَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a woman dies among men, there should not be another woman present except her, and when a man dies among women, there should not be another man present except him. They should be shrouded and buried, and they are in the same category as someone who cannot find water. This is a transmitted hadith from Sinan ibn Gharafa from the Prophet ﷺ regarding a man who dies among women and a woman who dies among men. Neither of them should be washed, rather they should be shrouded and buried."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا مَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرُهَا وَالرَّجُلُ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ لَيْسَ مَعَهُنَّ رَجُلٌ غَيْرُهُ فَإِنَّهُمَا يُتَيَمَّمَانِ وَيُدْفَنَانِ وَهُمَا بِمَنْزِلَةِ مَنْ لَا يَجِدُ الْمَاءَ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَرُوِي عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ غَرْفَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ تَمُوتُ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ لَيْسَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مَحْرَمٌ يُتَيَّمَّمَانِ بِالصَّعِيدِ وَلَا يُغَسَّلَانِ  

[Machine] "And concerning Al-Hasan al-Basri, water is poured on it from above the clothes. And similarly, Ata' bin Abi Rabah said."  

وَعَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ يُصَبُّ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءُ مِنْ فَوْقِ الثِّيَابِ وَكَذَا قَالَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was wrapped in three white burial garments, without a shirt or turban, according to the narration of Malik. In the narration of Thawri, she said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was wrapped in three red burial garments, without a shirt or turban.  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الثَّوْرِيِّ قَالَتْ كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ كُرْسُفٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shrouded in three white cotton garments, without a shirt or headdress.  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ بِيضٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ  

[Machine] The wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, when Abu Bakr's illness became severe, I cried and fainted. When I regained consciousness, I said, "Long live the one whose tears never cease flowing, for he is in a great sorrow." Abu Bakr woke up and said, "It is not as you said, my dear daughter, but [it is the verse] 'The stupor of death has come with the truth. That is what you tried to avoid' [Quran 50:19]." Then he asked, "On which day did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pass away?" I said, "On Monday." He asked again, "Which day is it today?" I said, "Monday." He said, "Then I hope for the period between me and the night [only]." She said, "He passed away on Tuesday night and was buried before dawn." She asked, "How was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ shrouded?" He said, "We shrouded him in three white new unstitched garments without a shirt or a turban." She said, "I said to him, 'Wash my garment with it and use it for dyeing with saffron or some other fragrance, and wrap him in two new garments with it." Aisha said, "So I said to him, 'Indeed, he is a man, and the living one is more in need of the new one than the dead. It is only for the respite.'"  

زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ لَمَّا اشْتَدَّ مَرَضُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ بَكَيْتُ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ [البحر الطويل] مَنْ لَا يَزَالُ دَمْعُهُ مُقَنَّعًا فَإِنَّهُ فِي مَرَّةٍ مَدْفُوقُ قَالَتْ فَأَفَاقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ كَمَا قُلْتِ يَا بُنَيَّةُ وَلَكِنْ {جَاءَتْ سَكْرَةُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ ذَلِكَ مَا كُنْتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيدُ} [ق 19] ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ فَأِيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ قُلْتُ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو مِنَ اللهِ مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَتْ فَمَاتَ لَيْلَةَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ فَدُفِنَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ قَالَتْ وَقَالَ فِي كَمْ كَفَّنْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُنَّا كَفَّنَّاهُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ جُدُدٍ بِيضٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ قُلْتُ فَقَالَ لِي اغْسِلُوا ثَوْبِي هَذَا وَبِهِ رَدْعُ زَعْفَرَانٍ أَوْ مِشْقٍ وَاجْعَلُوا مَعَهُ ثَوْبَيْنِ جَدِيدَيْنِ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ خَلَقٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا الْحِيُّ أَحْوَجُ إِلَى الْجَدِيدِ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمُهْلَةِ  

[Machine] He said, "I asked Aisha, 'In how many clothes was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ shrouded?' She said, 'In three white garments.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فِي كَمْ كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shrouded in three Najrani garments. There were two wraparound garments and his shirt in which he died. Uthman said he was shrouded in three red garments and his shirt in which he died.  

كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ نَجْرَانِيَّةِ الْحُلَّةِ ثَوْبَانِ وَقَمِيصُهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ وَقَمِيصِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ ﷺ هَكَذَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was shrouded in two white garments and a piece of Hibra cloth.  

كُفِّنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ أَبْيَضَيْنِ وَبُرْدِ حِبَرَةٍ كَذَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was wrapped in three cloths, two of which were made of coarse fabric and one of which was made of fine white linen.  

كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ ثَوْبَيْنِ صَحَارِيَّيْنِ وَبُرْدٍ حِبَرَةٍ أُدْرِجَ فِيهَا إِدْرَاجًا  

[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  

We migrated with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the path of Allah seeking Allah's pleasure alone. Thus our reward was assured with Allah. And amongst us were those who spent life (in such a state of piety and austerity) that nothing consumed their reward. Mus'ab b. 'Umair was one of them. He was killed on the Day of Uhud, and nothing but a woollen cloak was found to shroud him. When we covered his head with it, his feet became uncovered, and when we covered his feet, his head was uncovered. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Place it (this cloak) on the side of his head and cover his feet with grass. And there is one amongst us for whom the fruit is ripened and he enjoys it. (Using translation from Muslim 940a)   

هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ نَبْتَغِي وَجْهَ اللهِ فَوَجَبَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَى اللهِ فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَى لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ يُكَفَّنُ فِيهِ إِلَّا نَمِرَةً فَكُنَّا إِذَا وَضَعْنَاهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خَرَجَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَإِذَا وَضَعْنَاهَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَ رَأْسُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ضَعُوهَا مِمَّا يَلِي رَأْسَهُ وَاجْعَلُوا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ مِنَ الْإِذْخِرِ قَالَ وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهُوَ يُهْدِيهَا  

Once a meal was brought to ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf and he was fasting. He said, "Mustab bin ʿUmar was martyred and he was better than I and was shrouded in his Burd and when his head was covered with it, his legs became bare, and when his legs were covered his head got uncovered. Hamza was martyred and was better than I. Now the worldly wealth have been bestowed upon us (or said a similar thing). No doubt, I fear that the rewards of my deeds might have been given earlier in this world." Then he started weeping and left his food. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1275)   

وَقُتِلَ حَمْزَةُ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي ثُمَّ بُسِطَ لَنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا أَوْ قَالَ أُعْطِينَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا أُعْطِينَا وَقَدْ خَشِينَا أَنْ تَكُونَ حَسَنَاتُنَا عُجِّلَتْ لَنَا وَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي حَتَّى تَرَكَ الطَّعَامَ  

[Machine] When the polytheists withdrew from the battle of Uhud, the Prophet ﷺ sat alone. A woman came carrying dead bodies, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "This woman, this woman." When she came closer, he realized that it was his mother Safiyyah, so he said, "Oh mother, go back." She replied, "I have no place to go." He said, "Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will take care of you." She then gave him two pieces of cloth and said, "Use these to shroud my two brothers." The Prophet ﷺ found next to him a man from the Ansar who did not have a shroud, so we decided it would be best to use the two pieces of cloth to shroud Hamzah and the Ansari man. We tore the cloth and each of them were shrouded in the cloth that was best suited for them.  

لَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ جَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَاحِيَةً وَجَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تَؤُمُّ الْقَتْلَى فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَرْأَةَ الْمَرْأَةَ فَلَمَّا تَوَسَّمْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أُمِّي صَفِيَّةُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّهْ ارْجِعِي فَلَدَمَتْ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَتْ لَا أَرْضَ لَكَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكِ قَالَ فَأَعْطَتْنِي ثَوْبَيْنِ فَقَالَتْ كَفِّنُوا فِي هَذَيْنِ أَخِي قَالَ فَوَجَدْنَا إِلَى جَنْبِ حَمْزَةَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَيْسَ لَهُ كَفَنٌ فَوَجَدْنَا فِي أَنْفُسِنَا غَضَاضَةً أَنْ نُكَفِّنَ حَمْزَةَ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَالْأَنْصَارِيُّ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ كَفَنٌ قَالَ فَأَقْرَعْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي أَجْوَدِ الثَّوْبَيْنِ فَكَفَّنَّا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي طَارَ لَهُ  

[Machine] Jabir bin Abdullah heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "He came to the grave of Abdullah bin Ubay after he was buried and he ordered him to be dug out and placed him on his knees or thighs and then blew on him from his saliva and dressed him in his own shirt. And Allah knows best."  

سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَبْرَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ بَعْدَ مَا أُدْخِلَ حُفْرَتَهُ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ أَوْ فَخِذَيْهِ فَنَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِيقِهِ وَأَلْبَسَهُ قَمِيصَهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] About Sufyan, it has been said that the Prophet ﷺ intended with what he did to bless him for what he had done, and Allah knows best. 6687 Abu Amr Al-Adib informed us that Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili informed us that Ibn Najiyah narrated to us from Ishaq who narrated from Sufyan, and he mentioned the hadith and added, Sufyan said, "Perhaps the Prophet ﷺ rewarded him with that shirt."  

عَنْ سُفْيَانَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَصَدَ بِمَا فَعَلَ مَكَافَأَتَهُ بِمَا صَنَعَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ 6687 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أنبأ ابْنُ نَاجِيَةَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ ثنا سُفْيَانُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَزَادَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَلَعَلَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَازَاهُ بِذَلِكَ الْقَمِيصِ  

When ʿAbdullah bin 'Ubai died, his son ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbdullah came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him to give him his shirt in order to shroud his father in it. He gave it to him and then ʿAbdullah asked the Prophet ﷺ to offer the funeral prayer for him (his father). Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up to offer the funeral prayer for him, but ʿUmar got up too and got hold of the garment of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ Will you offer the funeral prayer for him though your Lord has forbidden you to offer the prayer for him" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "But Allah has given me the choice by saying: '(Whether you) ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times..' (9.80) so I will ask more than seventy times." ʿUmar said, "But he (ʿAbdullah bin 'Ubai) is a hypocrite!" However, Messenger of Allah ﷺ did offer the funeral prayer for him whereupon Allah revealed: 'And never (O Muhammad) pray for anyone of them that dies, nor stand at his grave.' (9.84) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4670)   

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ قَمِيصَهُ يُكَفِّنُ فِيهِ أَبَاهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَأَخَذَ بِثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ نَهَاكَ اللهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا خَيَّرَنِي اللهُ فَقَالَ {اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَهُمْ} [التوبة 80] وَسَأَزِيدُ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} [التوبة 84] الْآيَةَ  

[Machine] He said: "The deceased is shrouded, wrapped, and covered with a third garment. If there is only one garment, he is shrouded in it, and this is a confirmed narration. We have also narrated from Nafi' that the son of Abdullah bin Umar died and he was shrouded by Ibn Umar in five garments - a turban, a shirt, and three wraps."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْمَيِّتُ يُقَمَّصُ وَيُؤَزَّرُ وَيُلَفُّ بِالثَّوْبِ الثَّالِثِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِلَّا ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ كُفِّنَ فِيهِ وَهَذَا مَوْقُوفٌ 6689 وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ ابْنًا لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ مَاتَ فَكَفَّنَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فِي خَمْسَةِ أَثْوَابٍ عِمَامَةٍ وَقَمِيصٍ وَثَلَاثِ لَفَائِفَ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Wear white, for indeed it is very pure and cleaner, and shroud your dead in it.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2810)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَسُوا الثِّيَابَ الْبِيضَ؛ فَإِنَّهَا أَطْيَبُ وَأَطْهَرُ وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ  

[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ that he said: Wear white clothing, as it is the best of your clothing. Shroud your deceased in it, for we have narrated it from Ibn Abbas that the Prophet ﷺ mentioned it in the Book of Jumu'ah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْبَيَاضِ فَلْيَلْبَسْهُ أَحْيَاؤُكُمْ وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهِ مَوْتَاكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ لِبَاسِكُمْ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي كِتَابِ الْجُمُعَةِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you dies, and he possesses something, he should be shrouded in the garment of the Yemeni stuff. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3150)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَوَجَدَ شَيْئًا فَلْيُكَفَّنْ فِي ثَوْبِ حِبَرَةٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best shroud is the one made of hulla fabric, and the best sacrifice is a ram with horns." The Sheikh said, "Hulla is commonly understood to refer to two red garments." There are narrations stating that the Prophet ﷺ was shrouded in white clothes, and that he preferred white. And with Allah is the success.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ خَيْرُ الْكَفَنِ الْحُلَّةُ وَخَيْرُ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ الْكَبْشُ الْأَقْرَنُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَالْحُلَّةُ هِيَ ثَوْبَانِ أَحْمَرَانِ غَالِبًا وَالْأَحَادِيثُ فِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كُفِّنَ فِي ثِيَابٍ بِيضٍ وَأَنَّهُ اسْتَحَبَّ الْبَيَاضَ أَصَحُّ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

The Prophet ﷺ made a speech one day and mentioned a man from among his Companions who died and was shrouded in a shroud of bad quality, and was buried at night. The Prophet ﷺ rebuked that man be buried at night until prayer was offered over him, except that a man was forced to do that. The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you shrouds his brother, he should use a shroud of good quality. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3148)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ يَوْمًا وَذَكَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ قُبِضَ وَكُفِّنَ فِي كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ وَقُبِرَ لَيْلًا فَزَجَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يُقْبَرَ بِاللَّيْلِ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُضْطَرَّ الْإِنْسَانُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا كَفَّنَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُحْسِنْ كَفَنَهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Do not go to extremes in making the shroud expensive, for it will be quickly snatched away (by others)."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تُغَالُوا فِي الْكَفَنِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يُسْلَبُ سَلْبًا سَرِيعًا  

[Machine] I don't need it, buy me two white dresses; for they will only last on me for a little while until they are replaced by something better than them or worse than them.  

لَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهَا اشْتَرُوا لِي ثَوْبَيْنِ أَبْيَضَيْنِ؛ فَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يُتْرَكَا عَلَيَّ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى أُبْدَلَ بِهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمَا أَوْ شَرًّا مِنْهُمَا  

* “What type of woven sheet?” He said: “A Shamlah.” She said: “O Messenger of Allah, I have woven this with my own hands for you to wear.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it, since he needed it. He came out to us wearing it as a lower wrap. So-and-so the son of so-and-so.” – a man whose name he told that day – said: “O Messenger of Allah, how beautiful this sheet is! Let me wear it.” He said: “Yes.” When he went inside he folded it up and sent it to him. The people said to him: “By Allah, you have not done well. The Prophet ﷺ wore it because he needed it, then you asked for it, and you knew that he would not refuse anyone who asked him for something.” He said: “By Allah, I did not ask for it so that I could wear it, rather I asked for it so that it could be my shroud.” Sahl said: “And it became his shroud the day he died.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3555)   

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِبُرْدَةٍ مَنْسُوجَةٍ مِنْهَا حَاشِيَتُهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْبُرْدَةُ؟ قَالُوا الشَّمْلَةُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَتْ نَسَجْتُ هَذِهِ بِيَدِي فَجِئْتُ لِأَكْسُوَكَهَا فَلَبِسَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُحْتَاجًا إِلَيْهَا فَخَرَجَ وَإِنَّهَا لَإِزَارُهُ أَوْ رِدَاؤُهُ شَكَّ أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَجَسَّهَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ لِرَجُلٍ قَدْ سَمَّاهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذِهِ الْبُرْدَةَ أَكَسَيْتَنِيهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ طَوَاهَا فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَوْمُ وَاللهِ مَا أَحْسَنْتَ لَبِسَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُحْتَاجًا إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ سَأَلْتَهُ إِيَّاهَا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَرُدُّ سَائِلًا فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا سَأَلْتُهُ إِيَّاهَا إِلَّا لِيَكُونَ كَفَنِي يَوْمَ أَمُوتُ قَالَ سَهْلٌ وَكَانَتْ كَفَنَهُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ  

[Machine] A man was standing with the Messenger ﷺ on Arafat when he fell off his mount. Ayyub said, "I will cut his throat," and Amr said, "I will cut his throat," and he died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Wash him with water and sidr, shroud him in two garments, and do not perfume him or cover his head. For Allah will resurrect him in the state of ihram." Amr said, "Resurrected in a state of ihram?" Isma'il said, "That's how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said it." Musaddad opposed him and said, "No, he said, 'He will be resurrected wearing clothes.' " Sulaiman and Attab agreed that Amr said, "He will be resurrected in a state of ihram," while Ayyub said, "He will be resurrected wearing clothes."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ وَاقِفًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَفَةَ فَوَقَعَ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَوَقَصَتْهُ وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو فَأَقْعَصَتْهُ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَكَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَلَا تُحَنِّطُوهُ وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَبْعَثُهُ يُلَبِّي وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو مُلَبِّيًا قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ هَكَذَا قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ وَخَالَفَهُ عَارِمٌ وَسُلَيْمَانُ اتَّفَقَا عَلَى أَنَّ عَمْرًا قَالَ يُلَبِّي وَأَنَّ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ مُلَبِّيًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, when Adam fell ill with the illness from which he eventually died, he said to his sons, 'O my sons, I am sick and I desire the food that a sick person desires. I also desire the fruits of Paradise. So bring me the fruits of Paradise.' They went out and searched the earth. The angels met them and asked, 'O children of Adam, where are you going?' They replied, 'We are looking for the fruits of Paradise for our father.' The angels said, 'Go back for your father has been commanded to be taken to Paradise.' So they took his soul while they were watching, shrouded and perfumed him while they were watching, and prayed over him while they were watching. Then they said, 'O children of Adam, this is your custom in the death of your loved ones.' Harithah bin Mu'adh stood him up, Hushaim bin Bashir held him, and others held him from the tribe of Yonus bin Ubaid and some others added to it. Then they dug for him a grave, buried him, and said, 'In the same way, do as we did.' Abu Nasr bin Qatada informed us, Abu Amr bin Matar informed us, Hameed bin Muhammad bin Shuaib narrated to us, Suraj bin Yunus narrated to us, Hushaim narrated to us, Yunus bin Ubaid narrated from Al-Hasan, he said, 'Utaiyah Al-Saadi told me, I heard my father Ka'ab narrating that when Adam was in his last moments, he mentioned him being in a specific state."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ آدَمَ لَمَّا مَرِضَ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ يَا بَنِيَّ إِنِّي مَرِيضٌ وَإِنِّي أَشْتَهِي مَا يَشْتَهِي الْمَرِيضُ وَإِنِّي أَشْتَهِي مِنْ ثِمَارٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَابْغُوا لِي مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا يَسْعَوْنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَلَقِيَتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِيَانًا فَقَالُوا يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُونَ؟ قَالُوا نَبْغِي أَبَانَا مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ ارْجِعُوا فَقَدْ أُمِرَ بِقَبْضِ رَوْحِ أَبِيكُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَقَبَضُوا رُوحَهُ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ وَكَفَّنُوهُ وَحَنَّطُوهُ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ وَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ ثُمَّ قَالُوا يَا بَنِي آدَمَ هَذِهِ سُنَّتُكُمْ فِي مَوْتَاكُمْ يَرْفَعُهُ خَارِجَةُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ وَوَقَفَهُ هُشَيْمُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَزَادَ فِيهِ بَعْضُهُمْ ثُمَّ حَفَرُوا لَهُ ثُمَّ دَفَنُوهُ وَزَادَ وَكَذَلِكُمْ فَافْعَلُوا 6700 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ مَطَرٍ أنبأ حَامِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ثنا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ثنا هُشَيْمٌ أنبأ يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُتَيٌّ السَّعْدِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُبِيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ لَمَّا احْتُضِرَ آدَمُ فَذَكَرَهُ مَوْقُوفًا بِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a woman dies and they want to wash her, mention the hadeeth in its entirety: Then, stuff her lower parts with camphor as much as you can, then rub her with her own fragrance, then take a long soaked cloth, tie it around her waist like a belt, then tie it between her thighs, and bring her thighs together. Then, throw the end of the cloth from near her waist to close to her knees. This is the explanation of her lower parts. Then, perfume her and shroud her."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يُغَسِّلُوهَا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ احْشِي سُفْلَتَهَا كُرْسُفًا مَا اسْتَطَعْتِ ثُمَّ أَمِّسِي كُرْسُفَهَا مِنْ طِيبِهَا ثُمَّ خُذِي سَبَنِيَّةً طَوِيلَةً مَغْسُولَةً فَارْبِطِيهَا عَلَى عَجُزِهَا كَمَا يُرْبَطُ النِّطَاقُ ثُمَّ اعْقِدِيهَا بَيْنَ فَخِذَيْهَا وَضُمِّي فَخِذَيْهَا ثُمَّ أَلْقِي طَرَفَ السَّبَنِيَّةِ مِنْ عِنْدِ عَجُزِهَا إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْهَا فَهَذَا بَيَانُ سُفْلَتِهَا ثُمَّ طَيِّبِيهَا وَكَفِّنِيهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you wrap the deceased, perform an odd number of wraps." Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, Abu Abbas ibn Muhammad said, "I heard Yahya ibn Ma'in and I remembered this hadith, so Yahya said, 'No one narrated it except Yahya ibn Adam.' Yahya ibn Adam said, 'And I do not think this hadith is anything but a mistake.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَجْمَرْتُمُ الْمَيِّتَ فَأَوْتِرُوا وَرُوِي أَجْمِرُوا كَفَنَ الْمَيِّتِ ثَلَاثًا 6703 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ وَذَاكَرْتُهُ يَعْنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ يَحْيَى لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ إِلَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَلَا أَظُنُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا غَلَطًا  

[Machine] To my family, burn my clothes when I die, then scatter my ashes and don't leave any incense on my shroud, and don't follow me with fire.  

لِأَهْلِهَا أَجْمِرُوا ثِيَابِي إِذَا مِتُّ ثُمَّ حَنِّطُونِي وَلَا تَذَرُوا عَلَى كَفَنِي حَنُوطًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُونِي بِنَارٍ  

[Machine] Camphor is placed on the places of prostration.  

الْكَافُورُ يُوضَعُ عَلَى مَوَاضِعِ السُّجُودِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned a woman from the Children of Israel, and he said: "The fragrance of her ring filled the air, and musk is the best of fragrances."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَقَالَ حَشَتْ خَاتَمَهَا مِسْكًا وَالْمِسْكُ أَطْيَبُ الطِّيبِ  

[Machine] And Ali said, "It is the virtue of the sweet and gentle nature of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and it has been narrated to us about that from Ibn Umar and Anas ibn Malik."  

وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ هُوَ فَضْلُ حَنُوطِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرُوِّينَا فِي ذَلِكَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] Imam Abu al-Fath al-Umari told us, Abu Muhammad al-Shuraihi informed us, Abu al-Qasim al-Baghwiy narrated to us, that Dawud bin Rushaid narrated to us, Sa'id bin Muslima narrated to us, Ismail bin Umayyah narrated to us, from Nafi', he said, "Sa'id bin Zaid bin Amr bin Nufayl died, and he participated in the Battle of Badr." So Umm Sa'id said to Abdullah bin Umar, "Shall we embalm him with musk?" He replied, "And what fragrance is more pleasant than musk? Bring your musk and I will use it." He said, "He was not embalmed as you do, but we used to treat his body with 'Hanuta' and 'Maghabina'."  

أَخْبَرَنَا الْإِمَامُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ الْعُمَرِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الشُّرَيْحِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْبَغَوِيُّ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلَمَةَ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ مَاتَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ ؓ وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَعِيدٍ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ أَتُحَنِّطُهُ بِالْمِسْكِ؟ فَقَالَ وَأِيُّ طِيبٍ أَطْيَبُ مِنَ الْمِسْكِ؟ هَاتِي مِسْكَكِ فَنَاوَلَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُصْنَعُ كَمَا تَصْنَعُونَ وَكُنَّا نَتْبَعُ بِحَنُوطِهِ مَرَاقَّهُ وَمَغَابِنَهُ  

[Machine] "When Anas ibn Malik passed away, musk from the sweat of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was placed in his burial shroud."  

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ جُعِلَ فِي حَنُوطِهِ مِسْكٌ فِيهِ مِنْ عَرَقِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

Abu Bakr came riding his horse from his dwelling place in As-Sunh. He got down from it, entered the Mosque and did not speak with anybody till he came to me and went direct to the Prophet, who was covered with a marked blanket. Abu Bakr uncovered his face. He knelt down and kissed him and then started weeping and said, "My father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Prophet! Allah will not combine two deaths on you. You have died the death which was written for you." Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn ʿAbbas : Abu Bakr came out and ʿUmar , was addressing the people, and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but ʿUmar refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit down but ʿUmar again refused. Then Abu Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ) and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left ʿUmar. Abu Bakr said, "Amma ba'du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said: 'Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him ..(up to the) grateful.' " (3.144) (The narrator added, "By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it.") (Using translation from Bukhārī 1241)   

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مِنْ مَسْكَنِهِ بِالسُّنْحِ حَتَّى نَزَلَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمِ النَّاسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَتَيَمَّمَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُسَجًّى بِبُرْدَةِ حِبَرَةٍ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَاللهِ لَا يَجْمَعُ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ مَوْتَتَيْنِ أَبَدًا أَمَّا الْمُوتَةُ الَّتِي كَتَبَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدْ مِتُّهَا 6710 قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ خَرَجَ وَعُمَرُ ؓ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَقَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَتَشَهَّدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَمَالَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ وَتَرَكُوا عُمَرَ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ مُحَمَّدًا فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا قَدْ مَاتَ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ اللهَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ} [آل عمران 144] إِلَى {الشَّاكِرِينَ} [آل عمران 144] قَالَ وَاللهِ لَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَنْزَلَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ إِلَّا حِينَ تَلَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْهُ النَّاسُ فَمَا يَسْمَعُ بَشَرًا إِلَّا يَتْلُوهَا  

Um Al-ʿAla', an Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ said to me, "The emigrants were distributed amongst us by drawing lots and we got in our share ʿUthman bin Maz'un. We made him stay with us in our house. Then he suffered from a disease which proved fatal when he died and was given a bath and was shrouded in his clothes, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came I said, 'May Allah be merciful to you, O Abu As-Sa'ib! I testify that Allah has honored you'. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'How do you know that Allah has honored him?' I replied, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let my father be sacrificed for you! On whom else shall Allah bestow His honor?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'No doubt, death came to him. By Allah, I too wish him good, but by Allah, I do not know what Allah will do with me though I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ' By Allah, I never attested the piety of anyone after that." Al-Laith also narrated as above. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1243)   

أَنَّ أُمَّ الْعَلَاءِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدْ بَايَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهُمُ اقْتَسَمُوا الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قُرْعَةً يَعْنِي فَطَارَ لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي أَبْيَاتِنَا فَوُجِعَ وَجَعَهُ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ وَغُسِّلَ وَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثٍ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ شَهَادَتِي عَلَيْكَ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ أَنَّ اللهَ أَكْرَمَهُ؟ قُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَنْ أَكْرَمَهُ اللهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا هُوَ فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ جَاءَهُ الْيَقِينُ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو لَهُ الْخَيْرَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ مَاذَا يُفْعَلُ بِي؟ فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَا أُزَكِّي أَحَدًا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered upon Uthman ibn Mazh'un while he was dead, he uncovered his face and poured water on him, then he kissed him and cried until I saw tears flowing down his cheeks.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَبَكَى حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الدُّمُوعَ تَسِيلُ عَلَى وَجْنَتَيْهِ  

[Machine] From his face, he made the companions of the Prophet ﷺ dissuade me from this, while the Prophet ﷺ did not dissuade me from this. My aunt started crying, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not cry, what makes you cry? The angels continued to shade him with their wings until they lifted him."  

عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَنْهَوْنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَنْهَانِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَجَعَلَتْ عَمَّتِي تَبْكِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَبْكِي أَوْ مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟ مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا حَتَّى رَفَعُوهُ  

[Machine] I heard my father saying, "I think he heard it from his teacher, and his teacher was Maqil ibn Yasar, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed Nuaim ibn Masud in the grave, he removed the company of the grave with him." His saying, "I think he narrated it from Al-Duriyy," and Abu Dawud narrated it in Al-Marasil from Abbad ibn Musa and Sulaiman ibn Dawud Al-Attaki that Khalaf ibn Khalifa narrated to them from his father, who said, "He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned him."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ أَظُنُّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ مَوْلَاهُ وَمَوْلَاهُ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ لَمَّا وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نُعَيْمَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ نَزَعَ الْأَخِلَّةَ بِفِيهِ قَوْلُهُ أَظُنُّهُ أَحْسَبُهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ الدُّورِيِّ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي الْمَرَاسِيلِ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ مُوسَى وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيِّ أَنَّ خَلَفَ بْنَ خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] Set it free into its hole, and when you place it in its cavity, say "Bismillah" and according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , then release the tie from its head and tie from its legs.  

انْطَلِقْ بِهِ إِلَى حُفْرَتِهِ فَإِذَا وَضَعْتَهُ فِي لَحْدِهِ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ وَعَلَى سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَطْلِقْ عَقْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَعَقْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ  

[Machine] In his illness in which he died, they strictly confined me and poured milk unto me as it was done to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ الْحَدُوا لِي لَحْدًا وَانْصِبُوا عَلَيَّ اللَّبِنَ نَصْبًا كَمَا صُنِعَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] That Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah used to prepare for the Messenger of Allah by making arrangements for his stay in Makkah, while Abu Talha Zaid bin Sahl would do the same for the people of Madinah. Al-Abbas called two men, took hold of their necks, and said, "Go to Abu Ubaidah and go to Abu Talha. O Allah, reveal to the Messenger of Allah which of them has prepared a place for him." So the companion of Abu Talha, Abu Talha himself, was found, but the companion of Abu Ubaidah, Abu Ubaidah himself, was not found. Thus, he made arrangements for the Messenger of Allah, as narrated by Anas bin Malik, in summary.  

أَنْ يَحْفِرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ أَبُوعُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ يُضْرِحُ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ ؓ يَلْحَدُ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَدَعَا الْعَبَّاسُ رَجُلَيْنِ فَأَخَذَ بَأَعْنَاقِهِمَا فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ وَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ اللهُمَّ خِرْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَيَّهُمَا جَاءَ حَفَرَ لَهُ فَوَجَدَ صَاحِبُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ صَاحِبُ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ فَلَحَدَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مُخْتَصَرًا  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Lahd (i.e., the grave) is for us, while the narrowness (of the grave) is for others." This has also been narrated from Jarir ibn Abdullah as a raised (i.e., authenticated) hadith.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللَّحْدُ لَنَا وَالشَّقُّ لِغَيْرِنَا وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ مَرْفُوعًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Lahd is for us and shiqq is for others, just as... "  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللَّحْدُ لَنَا وَالشَّقُّ لِغَيْرِنَا كَذَا
