Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Imam Shabi narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was given the ritual bath by Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Fadl, and Hazrat Usama, and they placed him in the grave. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was saying, "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you! Your life was pure and your death is pure as well." Ibn Abi Marhab narrates that Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf also entered the grave with them. Imam Shabi says, "Who can be closer to the deceased than his own family?"
