[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.  

البيهقي:٦٦٩٣وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدٌ أنبأ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ حَاتِمِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ
