Hadith 521
اُردوEn
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ عُمَيْسٍ غَسَّلَتْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ فَسَأَلَتْ مَنْ حَضَرَهَا مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ، فَقَالَتْ: " إِنِّي صَائِمَةٌ وَإِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ شَدِيدُ الْبَرْدِ فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ غُسْلٍ؟ " ، فَقَالُوا: لَا
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Bakr that Sayyida Asma bint Umais, may Allah be pleased with her, gave her husband, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, the ritual bath (ghusl) when he passed away. Then she went out and asked the Muhajirun: "I am fasting and it is very cold, is ghusl also obligatory upon me?" They replied: "No."
قَالَ مَالِك: وَإِذَا هَلَكَ الرَّجُلُ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا نِسَاءٌ يَمَّمْنَهُ أَيْضًا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Similarly, if a man dies and there is no man present except women, then tayammum should be performed for him.
قَالَ مَالِك: وَلَيْسَ لِغُسْلِ الْمَيِّتِ عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ مَوْصُوفٌ وَلَيْسَ لِذَلِكَ صِفَةٌ مَعْلُومَةٌ وَلَكِنْ يُغَسَّلُ فَيُطَهَّرُ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, there is no fixed limit for washing the deceased; rather, one should wash until complete cleanliness is achieved.
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ: إِذَا مَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَهَا نِسَاءٌ يُغَسِّلْنَهَا ، وَلَا مِنْ ذَوِي الْمَحْرَمِ أَحَدٌ يَلِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا ، وَلَا زَوْجٌ يَلِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا يُمِّمَتْ فَمُسِحَ بِوَجْهِهَا وَكَفَّيْهَا مِنَ الصَّعِيدِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I heard from the people of knowledge, they used to say: When a woman dies and there are no women present to give her ghusl, nor any of her mahrams, nor her husband, then tayammum should be performed for her on her face and hands with earth.
