اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((الْبَسُوا مِنْ ثِيَابِكُمْ الْبِيَاضَ، فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خَيْرِ ثِيَابِكُمْ وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَكْحَالِكُمُ الْإِثْمَدَ، يَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ وَيُنْبِتُ الشَّعْرَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Wear white clothes, for they are among your best clothes, and shroud your dead in them. And among your collyriums, the best is antimony (ithmid); it sharpens the eyesight and causes the eyelashes to grow.
