(لَا يَقْرُبُ مَلَكُ الرَّحْمَةِ بَدَنَ الكَافِرِ)
(The Angel of Mercy Does Not Approach the Body of a Disbeliever)
Hadith 464
وَعَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ثَلَاثٌ لَا تَقْرَبُهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ جِيفَةُ الْكَافِرِ وَالْمُتَضَمِّخُ بِالْخَلُوقِ وَالْجُنُبُ إِلَّا أَن يتَوَضَّأ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
‘Ammar b. Yasir reported God’s messenger as saying, “There are three whom the angels do not approach, the dead body of an infidel, one who is smeared with khaluq,* and one who is sexually defiled unless he performs ablution.” *A liquid, yellow perfume mainly composed of saffron. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
