عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَبَضَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَغَسَّلُوهُ وَكَفَّنُوهُ وَحَنَّطُوهُ وَحَفَرُوا لَهُ وَأَلْحَدُوا لَهُ وَصَلَّوْا عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا قَبْرَهُ فَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَيْهِ اللَّبِنَ ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا مِنَ الْقَبْرِ ثُمَّ حَثَوْا عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا: يَا بَنِي آدَمَ! هَذِهِ سُنَّتُكُمْ
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The angels took the soul of Adam (peace be upon him), then they bathed him, shrouded him, and applied fragrance. After that, they dug his grave and prepared the lahd (side chamber). Then they offered his funeral prayer, entered his grave, and lowered him into it. Then they placed bricks over him, came out of the grave, and poured soil over it, and said: O children of Adam! This is the method for burying your dead.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This narration is indeed mawquf (attributed to a Companion) and weak, but in our Shari‘ah, this very manner of shrouding and burial is legislated.
