Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "On which day did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pass away?" She replied: "On Monday." He asked: "What day is today?" She said: "Monday." At this Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Whatever Allah wills; I hope that my time of passing will also be today, between now and the night." Then he asked the people of the house: "In what cloths did you shroud the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: "In three white Sahuli (cotton) cloths woven in Yemen, which included neither a shirt nor a turban." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Wash this garment of mine, which has a slight stain of saffron or red ochre on it, and add two more cloths to it (for the shroud)." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O my father, this is old and worn out." He said: "The living person is more entitled to the new cloth, while this (shroud) is only for the body to decay and turn to dust." Meanwhile Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had given them a hibarah (striped, costly) cloak, in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was first wrapped; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken out of it and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was shrouded in three white Sahuli cloths woven in Yemen. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) obtained that cloak and said: "I will surely shroud myself in the very cloth that touched the blessed body of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." But later he said (withdrawing from his intention): "No, by Allah! I will never shroud myself in a thing in which Allah Almighty prevented His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) from being shrouded." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away on the night of Tuesday and was buried during that same night.
