Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 799 — Washing the deceased

الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ - قَالَا : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، وَفِيهِ : وَمَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتًا ، وَأَدَّى الْأَمَانَةَ فِيهِ ، كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ مِنْهُ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ ، وَرُفِعَ لَهُ بِهَا مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : وَكَيْفَ يُؤَدِّي الْأَمَانَةَ فِيهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : يَسْتُرُ عَوْرَتَهُ ، وَيَكْتُمُ شَيْنَهُ ، فَإِنْ هُوَ لَمْ يَكْتُمْ شَيْنَهُ ، وَلَمْ يَسْتُرْ عَوْرَتَهُ أَبْدَى اللهُ تَعَالَى عَوْرَتَهُ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us; then the narrator mentioned a long hadith, which contains these words, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever washes a deceased person and fulfils the trust regarding him will receive, for every hair on the body of the deceased, the reward of freeing a slave, and by it he will be raised one hundred degrees." At this, Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how is the trust regarding the deceased fulfilled?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He covers his awrah (the parts that must be covered) and conceals his faults and defects; for if he exposes his faults and does not cover his awrah, Allah Almighty will expose his own faults and hidden parts before all of creation."
The chain of this narration contains liars such as Dawud bin al-Muhabbar and Maysarah bin Abd Rabbih; therefore this narration is extremely weak and at the level of mawdu' (fabricated).
