It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): I came to (my father) Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and saw the throes of death upon him. At this I said (this verse, in grief): "Alas! He whose tears are still held back, they will soon come pouring out (from the severity of death)." He said: "Do not say that; rather recite this verse: 'And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.'" Then he asked: "On what day did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pass away?" I said: "On Monday." He said: "I too hope (for my death) between now and tonight." The narrator (Urwah bin al-Zubayr, may Allah have mercy on him) said: He did not pass away until the evening of the night of Tuesday, and he was buried before morning came.
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Before that he had asked: "In how many garments was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) shrouded?" I said: "In three white Sahuli garments, among which there was neither a shirt nor a turban." Then he looked at a garment of his in which he had been nursed during his illness, which had traces of saffron or red ochre on it, and said: "Wash this garment of mine, add two more garments to it, and shroud me in them." I said: "But this is old (and worn)." He said: "The living have more right to the new garment than the dead; the shroud is only for the pus and fluids (that come out of the body)."
