Hadith 11045

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ لَمَّا أَرَادُوا غُسْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَدْرِي كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ أَنُجَرِّدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا نُجَرِّدُ مَوْتَانَا أَمْ نُغَسِّلُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا اخْتَلَفُوا أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ السِّنَةَ حَتَّى وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ إِلَّا ذَقْنُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ نَائِمًا قَالَتْ ثُمَّ كَلَّمَهُمْ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فَقَالَ اغْسِلُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ قَالَتْ فَثَارُوا إِلَيْهِ فَغَسَّلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي قَمِيصِهِ يُفَاضُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ وَالسِّدْرُ وَيُدَلِّكُهُ الرِّجَالُ بِالْقَمِيصِ وَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا نِسَاؤُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) stated: When the family intended to bathe the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they disagreed among themselves. They said: By Allah, we do not know what to do. Should we undress the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as we undress our dead men, or should we bathe him with his clothes on? Sayyidah (may Allah be pleased with her) stated: When they disagreed on this matter, Allah Almighty caused drowsiness to overcome all of them, so much so that in their sleep, all their chins rested upon their chests. Then, from a corner of the house, someone spoke to them, and they could not tell who it was. He said: Bathe the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his clothes on. They quickly went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and bathed him with his shirt on, pouring water and lotus leaves over it, and the men would rub his body over the shirt. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to say: If I had known then what I learned later, only the wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would have bathed him.
