Hadith 24186

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَت : " لَمَّا ثَقُلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، قَالَ : أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا ؟ قُلْنَا : يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ : فَأَيُّ يَوْمٍ قُبِضَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْنَا قُبِضَ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ : فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ اللَّيْلِ ، قَالَتْ : وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ فِيهِ رَدْعٌ مِنْ مِشْقٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ ، فَاغْسِلُوا ثَوْبِي هَذَا ، وَضُمُّوا إِلَيْهِ ثَوْبَيْنِ جَدِيدَيْنِ ، فَكَفِّنُونِي فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ ، فَقُلْنَا : أَفَلَا نَجْعَلُهَا جُدُدًا كُلَّهَا ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : لَا ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمُهْلَةِ ، قَالَتْ : فَمَاتَ لَيْلَةَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ ".
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to feel unwell, he asked, "What day is it today?" We told him it was Monday. He asked, "On which day did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pass away?" We told him, "On Monday." He said, "Then I also hope for the same tonight." She says that Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) had a cloth on his body which had saffron-colored stains on it. He said, "When I die, wash this cloth of mine and, along with two new cloths, shroud me in three cloths." We said, "Why don't we use all new cloths?" He said, "No, these are only for a short while." She says that when Monday ended and the night of Tuesday began, he passed away.
