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] 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
