[Machine] Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "I washed the Prophet ﷺ and then I went to see what would happen to the deceased. I didn't see anything, and he ﷺ remained fragrant, both in life and in death. I was his guardian for his burial and his family and friends stood four people: Ali, Abbas, Al-Fadl, and Salih, the mawla (freed slave) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was washed and prepared for burial according to his sunnah (tradition) and he was buried accordingly."

[Machine] Ali ibn Abi Talib, I washed the Messenger of Allah, then I went to see what would happen to the deceased, but I did not see anything. He was a good person, both alive and dead. I had the duty to bury him and shroud him. Four people were with me: Ali, al-Abbas, al-Fadl, and Salih, who was a servant of the Messenger of Allah. We buried the Messenger of Allah according to Islamic customs, and poured milk over his grave.

[Machine] I washed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he died, then I went to see what could be found from the deceased, but I did not see anything. He remained fragrant and alive even after death ﷺ.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given a proper burial and milk was poured over him.
