The daughter of the Prophet ﷺ sent (a messenger) to the Prophet ﷺ requesting him to come as her child was dying (or was gasping), but the Prophet ﷺ returned the messenger and told him to convey his greeting to her and say: "Whatever Allah takes is for Him and whatever He gives, is for Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world) and so she should be patient and hope for Allah's reward." She again sent for him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet ﷺ got up, and so did Saʿd bin 'Ubada, Muʿadh bin Jabal, Ubai bin Kaʿb, Zaid bin Thabit and some other men. The child was brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while his breath was disturbed in his chest (the sub-narrator thinks that Usama added: ) as if it was a leather water-skin. On that the eyes of the Prophet ﷺ started shedding tears. Saʿd said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What is this?" He replied, "It is mercy which Allah has lodged in the hearts of His slaves, and Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others). (Using translation from Bukhārī 1284)   

أَنَّ ابْنًا لِي قُبِضَ فَأْتِنَا فَأَرْسَلَ يُقْرِئُ السَّلَامَ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى وَكُلٌّ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ» فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّهَا فَقَامَ وَمَعَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَرِجَالٌ فَرُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّبِيُّ وَنَفْسُهُ تَتَقَعْقَعُ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ «هَذَا رَحْمَةٌ يَجْعَلُهَا اللهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ هُوَ النَّهْدِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَلٍّ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The real patience is at the first stroke of a calamity." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1302)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الْأُولَى»  

a man came to the Prophet accompanied by a son of his. He said to him: "Do you love him?" He said: "May Allah love you as I love him." Then he (the son) died and he noticed his absence and asked about him. He said: "Will it not make you happy to know that you will not come to any of the gates of Paradise but you will find him there, trying to open it for you?" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1870)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَتُحِبُّهُ؟ فَقَالَ أَحَبَّكَ اللهُ كَمَا أُحِبُّهُ فَمَاتَ فَفَقَدَهُ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا تُوُفِّيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «مَا يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ لَا تَأْتِيَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ عِنْدَهَا يَسْعَى يَفْتَحُ لَكَ؟» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو إِيَاسٍ اسْمُهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ قُرَّةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Allah is not pleased with His believing servant when he loses a loved one from the people of the earth, and he perseveres and hopes for reward. He says, 'What has Allah commanded me that is deserving of reward other than Paradise?'" Abu Abdullah, Umar ibn Shuayb ibn Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-Aas told us this, and they were three brothers: Amr, Umar, and Shuayb, the sons of Shuayb.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَرْضَى لِعَبْدِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا ذَهَبَ بِصَفِيِّهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَصَبَرَ وَاحْتَسَبَ وَقَالَ مَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ بِثَوَابٍ دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةُ إِخْوَةٍ عَمْرٌو وَعُمَرُ وَشُعَيْبُ بَنُو شُعَيْبَ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "Whoever patiently bears three hardships, will enter Paradise." So, a woman got up and asked, "Or two?" He replied, "Or two." The woman said, "I wish I had said only one." Abu Abdulrahman Bukair, the son of Abdullah bin Ashajj, said, "They are three brothers: Ya'qub, Bukair, and Umar. Bukair is the eldest and most knowledgeable among them."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ احْتَسَبَ ثَلَاثَةً مِنْ صُلْبِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ أَوِ اثْنَانِ قَالَ «أَوِ اثْنَانِ» قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قُلْتُ وَاحِدًا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بُكَيْرٌ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ وَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةُ إِخْوَةٍ يَعْقُوبُ وَبُكَيْرٌ وَعُمَرُ وَأَجَلُّهُمٍ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ حَدِيثًا بُكَيْرٌ  

"A woman came to the Messenger of Allah with a son of hers who was ill and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I fear for him, and I have already lost three.' The Messenger of Allah said: "You have a great protection against the Hellfire." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1877)  

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِابْنٍ لَهَا يَشْتَكِي فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ‍ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ ثَلَاثَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَقَدِ احْتَظَرْتِ بِحِظَارَةٍ شَدِيدَةِ مِنَ النَّارِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A Muslim whose three children die before the age of puberty will be granted Paradise by Allah due to his mercy for them." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1248)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ»  

"I met Abu Dharr and said: 'Tell me a Hadith.' He said: the Messenger of Allah said: There are no two Muslims, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but Allah will forgive them by virtue of His mercy towards them."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1874)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُمَا بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Any Muslim who has lost three of his children will not be touched by the Fire except that which will render Allah's oath fulfilled." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6656)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَمُوتُ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ إِلَّا تَحِلَّةِ الْقَسَمِ»  

"There are no two Muslims, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but Allah will admit them to Paradise by virtue of His mercy toward them. It will be said to them: 'Enter Paradise.' They will say: 'Not until our parents enter.' So it will be said: 'Enter Paradise, you and your parents."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1876)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللهُ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ» قَالَ يُقَالُ لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُونَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ أَبَوَانَا فَيُقَالُ لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ  

that the Messenger of Allah announced the news of the death of Zaid and Ja'far before news of them came. He announced their death and his eyes were overflowing with tears. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1878)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «نَعَى زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ خَبَرُهُمْ نَعَاهُمْ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ»  

the Messenger of Allah had told them of the death of An-Najashi, the ruler of Ethiopia, on the day that he died, and he said: "Pray for forgiveness for your brother." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1879)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَى لَهُمُ النَّجَاشِيَّ صَاحِبَ الْحَبَشَةِ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ «اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِأَخِيكُمُ»  

"while we were traveling with the Messenger of Allah, he saw a woman, and did not think that he knew her. When she was halfway to him, he stopped until she reached him, and it was Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah. He said to her: 'What brought you out of your house, O Fatimah?' She said: 'I came to the people of this deceased one to pray for mercy for them, and to offer my condolences to them.' He said: 'Perhaps you went with them to Al-Kuda?" She said: 'Allah forbid that I should go there. I heard what you said about that.' He said: If you had gone there with them, you would never have seen Paradise until the grandfather of your father saw it."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1880)  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ بَصَرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ لَا نَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ عَرِفَهَا فَلَمَّا تَوَسَّطَ الطَّرِيقَ وَقَفَ حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا «مَا أَخْرَجَكِ مِنْ بَيْتِكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ؟» قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ أَهْلَ هَذَا الْمَيِّتِ فَتَرَحَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَعَزَّيْتُهُمْ لِمَيِّتِهِمْ فَقَالَ «لَعَلَّكِ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى» قَالَتْ مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ بَلَغْتُهَا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَذْكُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ مَا تَذْكُرُ فَقَالَ «لَوْ بَلَغْتِهَا مَعَهُمْ مَا رَأَيْتِ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَرَاهَا جَدُّ أَبِيكِ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us when his daughter died and said, "Wash her thrice or five times or more, if you see it necessary, with water and Sidr and then apply camphor or some camphor at the end; and when you finish, notify me." So when we finished it, we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and told us to shroud the dead body in it. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1253)  

دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَتُهُ فَقَالَ «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي» فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ»  

"My son died, and I felt very sad. I said to the one who was washing him: 'Do not wash my son with cold water and kill him." 'Ukashah bin Mihsan went to the Messenger of Allah and told him what she had said, and he smiled then said: "What did she say, may Allah give her long life?" And we do not know of any woman who lived as long as she lived. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1882)   

تُوُفِّيَ ابْنِي فَجَزِعْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لِلَّذِي يُغَسِّلُهُ لَا تُغَسِّلِ ابْنِي بِالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ فَانْطَلَقَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِهَا فَتَبَسَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا قَالَتْ طَالَ عُمْرُهَا فَلَا نَعَلَمُ امْرَأَةً عَمَّرَتْ مَا عَمَّرَتْ»  

"I heard Hafsah saying: 'Umm 'Atiyyah said: They tied the hair of the daughter of the Prophet in three braids."' 'I said: Did they undo it, then make three braids? She said: 'Yes."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1883)  

وَسَمِعْتُ حَفْصَةَ تَقُولُ حَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ أَنَّهُنَّ جَعَلْنَ رَأْسَ ابْنَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ قُلْتُ نَقَضْنَهُ وَجَعَلْنَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them while washing her daughter: Begin with her right side, and the places where the ablution is performed. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3145)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي غُسْلِ ابْنَتِهِ «ابْدَأْنَ بِمَيَامِنِهَا وَمَوَاضِعِ الْوضُوءِ مِنْهَا»  

"One of the daughters of the Prophet died, and he sent word to us saying: 'Wash her with water and lotus leaves, and wash her an odd number of times, three, or five, or seven if you think (that is needed), and put some camphor in it the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.' When we finished, we finished, we informed him, and he threw his informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: 'Shroud her in it.' And we combed her hair and put it in three braids, and put it behind her." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1885)  

مَاتَتِ احْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «اغْسِلْنَهَا بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي» فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ» قَالَتْ وَمَشَطْنَاهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ وَأَلْقَيْنَاهَا خَلْفَهَا  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon us when we were washing his daughter Umm Kulthum. He said: ‘Wash her three or five times, or more than that if you think you need to, with water and lote leaves, and put camphor or a little camphor in (the water) for the last washing. When you have finished, call for me.’ When we finished, we called him, and he gave his waist-wrapper to us and said: ‘Shroud her with it.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1458)  

دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَتُهُ فَقَالَ «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي» فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ»

تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ»  

"Three times or five, or seven, or more than that, if you think that (is necessary)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1888)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ»  

"A daughter of the Messenger of Allah died and he told us to wash her. He said: 'Three times, or five or seven, or more than that, if you think that (is necessary).' I said: 'An odd number?'

He said, "Wash her three, five, or more times if you see that necessary, using water and sidr, and place camphor or something similar in the Hereafter. Then, call me when you are finished." When we finished, we called him, and he threw his garment to us and said, "Rub her with it." Hafsa said, "Wash her three, five, or seven times." Umm Atiyya said, "We combed her hair three times."

أَتَانًا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نُغَسِّلُ ابْنَتَهُ فَقَالَ «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي» فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ فَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ» قَالَ وَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا قَالَ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ مَشَطْنَاهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ وَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ جَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ وَجَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ 2030/ 1 أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ وَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ جَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ 2030/ 2 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ وَجَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ  

"Umm 'Atiyyah was a woman from among the Ansar who told us: 'The Prophet entered upon us while we were washing his daughter and said: "Wash her three times, or five, or more than that if you think that (is necessary), with water and lotus leaves, and put camphor, or some camphor in it the last time. And when you have finished, inform me." So when we finished we informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: "Shroud her in it." And he did not add to that. He (the narrator) said: "I do not know which of his daughters that was." I said: "What did he mean by: 'Shroud her in it?' Did he mean to put it on like an Izar?" He said: "No, I think he meant to wrap her completely." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1893)  

دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نُغَسِّلُ ابْنَتَهُ فَقَالَ «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي» فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا أَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ فَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ» وَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ بَنَاتِهِ قُلْتُ مَا قَوْلُهُ أَشْعِرْنَهَا أَتُؤَزَّرُ؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَقُولَ الْفُفْنَهَا فِيهِ  

"One of the daughters of the Prophet died and he said: 'Wash her three times, or five, or more than that if you think that (is necessary). Wash her with water and lotus leaves and put camphor, or some camphor in it the last time. And when you have finished inform me.' We informed him, and he threw his waist-wrapper to us and said: 'Shroud her in it."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1894)  

تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ وَاغْسِلْنَهَا بِالسِّدْرِ وَالْمَاءِ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي آخِرِ ذَلِكَ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي» قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ فَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ»  

"Abu Az-Zubair told me that he heard Jabir say; 'The Messenger of Allah delivered a speech and mentioned a man among his Companions who had died. He had been buried at night and wrapped in a shroud that was not sufficient. The Messenger of Allah rebuked (them) and said that no one should be buried at night unless constrained to do that. And the Messenger of Allah said: When one of you wants to takes care of his brother, let him shroud him well."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1895)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَاتَ فَقُبِرَ لَيْلًا وَكُفِّنَ فِي كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ فَزَجَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُقْبَرَ إِنْسَانٌ لَيْلًا إِلَّا أَنْ يُضْطَرَّ إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا وَلِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُحْسِنْ كَفَنَهُ»  

"Abu Az-Zubair told me that he heard Jabir say: "The Messenger of Allah delivered a speech and mentioned a man among his Companions who had died. He had been buried at night and wrapped in a shroud that was not sufficient. The Messenger of Allah reduced (them) and said that no one should be buried at night unless constrained to do that. And the Messenger of Allah said: When one of you wants to takes care of his brother, let him shroud him well."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1896)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْبَسُوا مِنْ ثِيَابِكُمُ الْبَيَاضَ فَإِنَّهَا أَطْهَرُ وَأَطْيَبُ وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ»  

"Wear white clothes for they are purer and better, and shroud your dead in them."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1897)  

«كُفِّنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولٍ بِيضٍ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shrouded in three pieces of cloth which were made of white Suhul and neither a shirt nor a turban were used. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1273)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «كُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سَحُولِيَّةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ»  

the Messenger of Allah was shrouded in three white Yemeni garments of cotton, among which was no shirt and no turban. It was mentioned to 'Aishah that they said: "He was buried in two garments and a Burd made of Hibrah." She said: "A Burd was brought, but they sent it back and did not shroud him in it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1899)  

«كُفِّنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ كُرْسُفٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ» قَالَ فَذُكِرَ لِعَائِشَةَ قَوْلُهُمْ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَبُرْدٍ حِبَرَةٍ قَالَتْ قَدْ أُتِيَ بِالْبُرْدِ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ رَدُّوهُ وَلَمْ يُكَفِّنُوهُ فِيهِ  

"When 'Abdullah bin Ubayy died, his son came to the Prophet and said: 'Give me your shirt so that I may shroud him in it, and (some and) offer the (funeral) prayer for him, and pray for forgiveness for him'. So he gave him his shirt then he said: 'When you have finished, inform me and I will offer the (funeral) prayer for him.' But 'Umar stopped him and said: 'Hasn't Allah forbidden you to offer the (funeral) prayer for the hypocrites?' He said: 'I have two options. Whether you ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites) or ask no forgiveness for them." So he offered the (funeral) prayer for him. Then Allah, Most High, revealed: 'And never pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave.' So he stopped offering the (funeral) prayer for them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1900)  

لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ حَتَّى أُكَفِّنَهُ فِيهِ وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ قَمِيصَهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا فَرَغْتُمْ فَآذِنُونِي أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ» فَجَذَبَهُ عُمَرُ وَقَالَ «قَدْ نَهَاكَ اللهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ» فَقَالَ أَنَا بَيْنَ خِيَرَتَيْنِ قَالَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمِ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} [التوبة 84] فَتَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِمْ  

"The Prophet came to the grave of 'Abdullah bin Ubayy when he had been placed in his grave and stood over it. He commanded that he be brought out to him and placed on his knees, and he dressed him in his shirt and blew on him (for blessing). And Allah knows best." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1901)  

سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ أَتَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَبْرَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَقَدْ وُضِعَ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ «فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَأَلْبَسَهُ قَمِيصَهُ وَنَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِيقِهِ فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ»  

"And Al-'Abass was in Al-Madinah, and he asked the Ansar for a garment to clothe him in, but they could not find a shirt that would fit him except the shirt of 'Abdullah bin Ubayy, so they clothed him in it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1902)  

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ «كَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَطَلَبَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ ثَوْبًا يَكْسُونَهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا قَمِيصًا يَصْلُحُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا قَمِيصَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ فَكَسَوْهُ إِيَّاهُ»  

We migrated with Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking Allah's Countenance, so our rewards became due and sure with Allah. Some of us passed away without eating anything of their rewards in this world. One of these was Musʿab bin ʿUmar who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud. We did not find anything to shroud his body with except a striped cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet remained uncovered, and when we covered his feet with it, his head remained uncovered. So Allah's Apostle ordered us to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet. And there are some amongst us whose fruits have ripened and they are collecting them (i.e. they have received their rewards in this world). (Using translation from Bukhārī 3914)  

هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَبْتَغِي وَجْهَ اللهِ فَوَجَبَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَى اللهِ فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَاتَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَلَمْ نَجِدْ شَيْئًا نُكَفِّنُهُ فِيهِ إِلَّا نَمِرَةً كُنَّا إِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رَأْسَهُ خَرَجَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا بِهَا رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَ رَأْسُهُ «فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نُغَطِّيَ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ وَنَجْعَلُ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ إِذْخِرًا وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهُوَ يَهْدِبُهَا» اللَّفْظُ لِإِسْمَاعِيلَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Wash the deceased in the clothes in which he was in the state of ihram, and wash him with water and sidr, and shroud him in his clothes. Do not touch him with any fragrance, and do not cover his head, for he will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment in the state of ihram." Abu Abdur-Rahman Yunus ibn Nafi, also known as Abu Ghanim, a trustworthy and reliable narrator, narrated this from Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اغْسِلُوا الْمُحْرِمَ فِي ثَوْبَيْهِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَحْرَمَ فِيهِمَا وَاغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَكَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْهِ وَلَا تُمِسُّوهُ بِطِيبٍ وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُحْرِمًا» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يونُسُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ يُكَنَّى أَبَا غَانِمٍ ثِقَةٌ مَرْوَزِيٌّ رَوَى عَنْهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: "The best of perfume is musk."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1905)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَطْيَبُ الطِّيبِ الْمِسْكُ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'One of the best of your perfumes is musk."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1906)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مِنْ خَيْرِ طِيبِكُمُ الْمِسْكُ»  

a poor woman fell sick and the Messenger of Allah was informed of her sickness. The Messenger of Allah used to visit the poor when they were sick and ask about them. The Messnger of Allah said: "If she dies, then inform me." Then her funeral took place at night and they did not like to wake the Messenger of Allah. When morning came, the Messenger of Allah was told what had happened to her. He said: "Did I not tell you to inform me?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, we did not like to wake you up at night." The Messenger of Allah went out and the people lined up by her grave and he said four Takbirs. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1907)  

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ مِسْكِينَةً مَرِضَتٍ فَأُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَرَضِهَا وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْرِفُ الْمَسَاكِينَ وَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا مَاتَتْ فَآذِنُونِي فَأُخْرِجَ بِجَنَازَتِهَا لَيْلًا» وَكَرِهُوا أَنْ يُوقِظُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُخْبِرَ بِالَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا قَالَ «أَلَمْ آمُرْكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْذِنُونِي بِهَا» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُوقِظَكَ لَيْلًا «فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى صَفَّ بِالنَّاسِ عَلَى قَبْرِهَا وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'When the righteous man is placed on his bier, he says: Take me quickly, take me quickly. And when the bad man is placed on his bier he said: Woe to me! Where are you taking me?"' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1908)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا وُضِعَ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ قَالَ قَدِّمُونِي قَدِّمُونِي وَإِذَا وُضِعَ الرَّجُلُ السُّوءِ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ قَالَ يَا وَيْلَتَا أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ بِي  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the funeral is ready (for its burial) and the people lift it on their shoulders, then if the deceased is a righteous person he says, 'Take me ahead,' and if he is not a righteous one then he says, 'Woe to it (me)! Where are you taking it (me)?' And his voice is audible to everything except human beings; and if they heard it they would fall down unconscious . " (Using translation from Bukhārī 1380)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْجِنَازَةُ فَاحْتَمَلَهَا الرِّجَالُ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قَالَتْ قَدِّمُونِي قَدِّمُونِي وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ قَالَتْ يَا وَيْلَهَا أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا يَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا الْإِنْسَانَ وَلَوْ سَمِعَهَا إِنْسَانٌ لَصَعِقَ  

The Prophet ﷺ as saying: Walk quickly with a funeral, for if the dead person was good it is a good condition to which you are sending him on, but it he was otherwise it is an evil of which you are riding yourselves. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3181)  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجِنَازَةِ فَإِنْ تَكُنْ صَالِحَةً فَخَيْرٌ تُقَدِّمُونَهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَشَرٌّ تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ»  

Hasten at a funeral, for if (the dead person) is good, you would (soon) bring him close to the good. And if it is otherwise, it is an evil of which you are ridding yourselves. (Using translation from Muslim 944c)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجِنَازَةِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قَرَّبْتُمُوهَا إِلَى الْخَيْرٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ شَرًّا تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ»  

"My father told me: I witnessed the funeral of 'Abdur-Rahamn bin Samurah. Ziyad came out, walking in front of the bier, and some men from the family of 'Abdur-Rahman and their freed slaves came out, facing the bier and walking backward, saying: 'Slow down, slow down, may Allah bless you.' And they were walking slowly. Then when they were partway to Al-Mrbad, Abu Bakrah joined us on his mule. When he saw what they were doing, he rushed to them on his mule, brandishing his whip, and said: 'Move on, for by the One Who honored the face of Abu Al-Qasim, I remember when we were with the Messenger of Allah, we were walking fast, so the people speeded up."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1912)  

وَقَالَ خَلَّوا فَوَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَ وَجْهَ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّا لَنَكَادُ نَرْمُلُ بِهَا رَمَلًا فَانْبَسَطَ الْقَوْمُ  

"I remember when we were with the Messnger of Allah, and we were walking fast with it (the Janazah)." This is the wording of Hushaim. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1913)   

«لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّا لَنَكَادُ نَرْمُلُ بِالْجِنَازَةِ رَمَلًا» وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ هُشَيْمٍ  

"When any one of you sees a funeral and is not walking with it, let him stand up until it has passed him, or until (the body) is placed (in the grave) before if passes him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1915)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجِنَازَةَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَاشِيًا مَعَهَا فَلْيَقُمْ حَتَّى تُخَلِّفَهُ أَوْ تُوضَعَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُخَلِّفَهُ»  

"When you see a funeral, stand up until it has passed you, or (the body) is placed (in the grave)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1916)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجِنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا حَتَّى تُخَلِّفَكُمِ أَوْ تُوضَعَ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'When you see a funeral, stand up, and whoever follows it, let him not sit down until (the body) is placed (in the grave)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1917)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجِنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا فَمَنْ تَبِعَهَا فَلَا يَقْعُدَنَّ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ»  

"When a funeral passes by you, stand up, and whoever follows it, let him not sit down until it is put down (in the grave)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1914)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا مَرَّتْ بِكُمْ جِنَازَةٌ فَقُومُوا فَمَنْ تَبِعَهَا فَلَا يَقْعُدَنَّ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ»  

"We never saw the Messenger of Allah attend any funeral where he sat down until (the body) was placed (in the grave)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1918)  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَا «مَا رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ شَهِدَ جِنَازَةً قَطُّ فَجَلَسَ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ»  

"If a funeral passed by the Messenger of Allah he would stand up." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1919)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرُّوا عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَامَ وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو فِي حَدِيثِهِ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مُرَّتْ بِهِ جِنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ»
