I said to the Prophet ﷺ: Your old and astray uncle has died. He said: Go and bury your father, and then do not do anything until you come to me. So I went, buried him and came to him. He ordered me (to take a bath), so I took a bath, and he prayed for me.  

قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِ أَبَاكَ ثُمَّ لاَ تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي فَذَهَبْتُ فَوَارَيْتُهُ وَجِئْتُهُ فَأَمَرَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ وَدَعَا لِي  

When Abu Talib died, I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Your paternal uncle, the old man, has died. He said: “Go and bury him, then do not do anything until you come to me.ʿ So I went and buried him, then I came to him and he said: “Go and do ghusl, then do not do anything until you come to me.” So I did ghusl, then I came to him and he offered duʿaʿ for me, and I would not be happy if I had red and black camels instead of that. [The narrator] said: And ‘Ali ؓ used to do ghusl when he had washed a deceased person.  

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ ثُمَّ لَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي قَالَ فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ ثُمَّ لَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي قَالَ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ فَدَعَا لِي بِدَعَوَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِي بِهَا حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ وَسُودَهَا قَالَ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ إِذَا غَسَّلَ الْمَيِّتَ اغْتَسَلَ  

When Abu Talib died, I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Your paternal uncle, the old man, has died. He said: “Go and bury him, then do not do anything about his affairs until you come to me.” So I went and buried him, then I came to him and he said: ʿGo and do ghusl, then do not do anything until you come to me.” So I did ghusl, then I came to him and he offered duʿaʿ for me, and I would not be happy if I had red and black camels instead of that. Ibn Bakkar said in his Hadeeth: as-Suddi said: And ‘Ali ؓ used to do ghusl when he had washed a deceased person.  

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ وَلا تُحْدِثْ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَلا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَدَعَا لِي بِدَعَوَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي بِهِنَّ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ وَسُودُهَا وقَالَ ابْنُ بَكَّارٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ السُّدِّىُّ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ إِذَا غَسَلَ مَيِّتًا اغْتَسَلَ  

When Abu Talib died, I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Your paternal uncle, the misguided old man, has died. He said: ʿGo and bury him, and do not do anything until you come to me.ʿ So I went and buried him. Then he told me to do ghusl, then he prayed for me, offering supplications that I would not like to have anything else instead of them.  

لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقْ فَوَارِهِ وَلا تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَوَارَيْتُهُ فَأَمَرَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ دَعَا لِي بِدَعَوَاتٍ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهِنَّ مَا عَرُضَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ  

"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ مَاتَ، قَالَ: فَاذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ وَلَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتّى تَأتِيَنِى، فَفَعَلْتُ الَّذِى أَمَرَنِى بِهِ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، وَعَلَّمَنِى دَعَوَاتٍ هُنَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ حُمُرِ النَّعَمِ".  

" عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ أبُو طَالِبٍ أتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقَالَ: انْطَلِقْ فَوَارِهِ، ثُمَّ لاَ تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأتيَنِى، فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أتيْتُهُ فَأَمَرَنِى فَاغْتَسَلتُ ثُمَّ دَعَا لِى بِدعَوَاتٍ مَا أُحِبُ أَنَّ لى بِهِنَّ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ".
