[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Among the best of your garments is white, so wear it in your life and shroud your deceased in it.' Abu Ja'far Kamil bin Ahmad al-Mustamli narrated to us, reporting from Bashir bin Ahmad al-Isfarayini, who reported from Dawud bin al-Husayn, who reported from Yahya bin Yahya, who narrated from Bashir bin al-Mufaddal, who mentioned this in a similar manner except that he said, 'Wear from your garments white, as it is among the best of your garments.'"  

البيهقي:٨٩٥١أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ
