Aisha said, "I went to Abu Bakr (during his fatal illness) and he asked me, 'In how many garments was the Prophet ﷺ shrouded?' She replied, 'In three Suhuliya pieces of white cloth of cotton, and there was neither a shirt nor a turban among them.' Abu Bakr further asked her, 'On which day did the Prophet die?' She replied, 'He died on Monday.' He asked, 'What is today?' She replied, 'Today is Monday.' He added, 'I hope I shall die sometime between this morning and tonight.' Then he looked at a garment that he was wearing during his illness and it had some stains of saffron. Then he said, 'Wash this garment of mine and add two more garments and shroud me in them.' I said, 'This is worn out.' He said, 'A living person has more right to wear new clothes than a dead one; the shroud is only for the body's pus.' He did not die till it was the night of Tuesday and was buried before the morning."  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ فِي كَمْ كَفَّنْتُمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَتْ فِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سَحُولِيَّةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلاَ عِمَامَةٌ وَقَالَ لَهَا فِي أَىِّ يَوْمٍ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ يَوْمَ الاِثْنَيْنِ قَالَ فَأَىُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا قَالَتْ يَوْمُ الاِثْنَيْنِ قَالَ أَرْجُو فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ اللَّيْلِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى ثَوْبٍ عَلَيْهِ كَانَ يُمَرَّضُ فِيهِ بِهِ رَدْعٌ مِنْ زَعْفَرَانٍ فَقَالَ اغْسِلُوا ثَوْبِي هَذَا وَزِيدُوا عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَيْنِ فَكَفِّنُونِي فِيهَا قُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذَا خَلَقٌ قَالَ إِنَّ الْحَىَّ أَحَقُّ بِالْجَدِيدِ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمُهْلَةِ فَلَمْ يُتَوَفَّ حَتَّى أَمْسَى مِنْ لَيْلَةِ الثُّلاَثَاءِ وَدُفِنَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ  

[Machine] "On which day did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ die?" She said, "On Monday." He said, "Whatever Allah wills, I hope that there will be a night between me and the night." She said, "In three white Yemeni garments, there is no shirt or turban." Abu Bakr said, "Look at my garment, it has the color of saffron or a tear, so wash it and put two other garments with it." Aisha said, "O father, this is not appropriate. The new burial shroud is more fitting for the living. It is only for the deceased." Abdullah bin Abu Bakr gave them a new burial shroud, in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was wrapped. They then took him out of it and wrapped him in three white garments. Abdullah took the burial shroud and said, "I will wrap myself in something that touched the skin of the Prophet ﷺ ." Then he said, "By Allah, I will not wrap myself in anything that Allah prevented His Prophet ﷺ from being wrapped in." So he died on Tuesday night and was buried that night, and Aisha died and was buried at night by Abdullah bin Zubair.  

لَهَا فِي أَيِّ يَوْمٍ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَتْ فِي يَوْمِ الِاثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ فَفِيمَ كَفَّنْتُمُوهُ؟ قَالَتْ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ انْظُرِي ثَوْبِي هَذَا فِيهِ رَدْعُ زَعْفَرَانٍ أَوْ مِشْقٌ فَاغْسِلِيهِ وَاجْعَلِي مَعَهُ ثَوْبَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا أَبَتِ هُوَ خَلِقٌ قَالَ إِنَّ الْحَيَّ أَحَقُّ بِالْجَدِيدِ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمُهْلَةِ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَعْطَاهُمْ حُلَّةً حِبَرَةً فَأُدْرِجَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْهَا فَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْحُلَّةَ فَقَالَ لَأُكَفِّنَنَّ نَفْسِي فِي شَيْءٍ مَسَّ جِلْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَاللهِ لَا أُكَفِّنُ نَفْسِي فِي شَيْءٍ مَنَعَهُ اللهُ ﷻ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ أَنْ يُكَفَّنَ فِيهِ فَمَاتَ لَيْلَةَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ وَدُفِنَ لَيْلًا وَمَاتَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَدَفَنَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ لَيْلًا  

[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
