Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4100

Al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. The narrator says: Udaysah bint Uhban narrates: When the time of my father's death approached, he said: "Do not shroud me in a stitched garment." She says: When he had passed away and been washed, the people sent word to me: "Send the shroud." I sent the shroud to them. The people said: "Where is the shirt?" I said: "My father forbade me to shroud him in a stitched shirt." She says: I sent word to the launderer; my father had a shirt with the launderer. It was brought and he was dressed in it, and then they carried him away. I closed my door and followed behind them. When I returned, the shirt was in the house. I sent word to those who had washed my father and asked: "Did you shroud him in a shirt?" They replied: "Yes." I asked: "Is it this one?" They replied: "Yes."
Its chain contains a narrator, Abu Amr al-Qasmali; al-Husayni says: He is not known.
