Chapter on what is reported regarding one spouse washing the other
Hadith 3100
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي بُدِيَتْ فِيهِ، فَقُلْتُ: وَا رَأْسَاهُ، فَقَالَ: ((وَدِدْتُّ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ وَأَنَا حَيٌّ فَهَيَّأْتُكِ وَدَفَنْتُكِ))
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The day the illness of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began, he came to me and I said: Oh, my head! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I wish it would happen that (after you fall ill) you would pass away, then I would prepare you and bury you.
Hadith 3101
(وَعَنْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ) قَالَ: ((مَا ضَرَّكِ لَوْ مُتِّ قَبْلِي فَغَسَّلْتُكِ وَكَفَّنْتُكِ، ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْكِ وَدَفَنْتُكِ))
(Second chain of narration) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: It will not harm you if you pass away before me, for I will bathe you, shroud you, offer your funeral prayer, and then bury you.
Hadith 3102
عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَقُولُ: لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا نِسَاءُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: If I had known later what I came to know, then only the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have given him (peace and blessings be upon him) the ritual bath.
