Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15221

Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil says: When the time of the death of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) drew near, she told Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) put out water for her bath. She bathed and purified herself, then she called for the garments of her shroud. Coarse garments were brought to her and she put them on, and she applied hanut (embalming perfume) to them. Then she told Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when she passed away she should not be uncovered, and that she should be wrapped in those same garments. The narrator says: I asked my teacher: Do you know of anyone who did this? He replied: Yes, Kathir bin al-Abbas did the same, and he had it written on the edges of his shroud: Kathir bin al-Abbas bears witness that there is no god but Allah Almighty.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration. The narrator Abdullah bin Muhammad did not live in the time of this incident, so the chain is munqati' (broken).
