بَابُ صِفَةِ الْكَفَنِ لِلرَّجُلِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَفِي كَمْ ثَوْبٍ يَكُونُChapter on the description of the shroud for men and women and how many garments it should be
Hadith 3118
اُردوEn
عَنْ لَيْلَى ابْنَةِ قَانِفٍ الثَّقَفِيَّةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ غَسَّلَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عِنْدَ وَفَاتِهَا وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا أَعْطَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْحِقَاوَيْنِ، ثُمَّ الدِّرْعُ، ثُمَّ الْخِمَارُ، ثُمَّ الْمِلْحَفَةُ، ثُمَّ أُدْرِجَتْ بَعْدُ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْآخِرِ، قَالَتْ: وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ مَعَهُ كَفَنُهَا يُنَاوِلُنَا ثَوْبًا ثَوْبًا
Sayyida Layla bint Qanif Thaqafiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I was among those women who gave the ritual bath (ghusl) to Sayyida Umm Kulthum bint Rasul (may Allah be pleased with her) at the time of her death. For her shroud, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) first gave us his waist-wrapper sheet, then in order, a shirt, a scarf, and a large sheet. Then she was wrapped in another cloth. Sayyida Layla (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was sitting by the door; he had her shroud with him and was handing us the garments one by one.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Since this hadith regarding five garments is weak, therefore a woman too will be shrouded in three garments just as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was.
