أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ
سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْبَيَاضِ ، فَلْيَلْبَسْهَا أَحْيَاؤُكُمْ ، وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ ، فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خَيْرِ ثِيَابِكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Make white clothes obligatory upon yourselves, wear white clothes yourselves, and shroud your dead in them, for they are the best of your clothes.
