بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي كَفَنِ الْمَيِّتِChapter on what is reported regarding shrouding the deceased
Hadith 524
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ، قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ : فِي كَمْ كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : " فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ " . فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : خُذُوا هَذَا الثَّوْبَ لِثَوْبٍ عَلَيْهِ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ مِشْقٌ أَوْ زَعْفَرَانٌ ، فَاغْسِلُوهُ ، ثُمَّ كَفِّنُونِي فِيهِ مَعَ ثَوْبَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : وَمَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : الْحَيُّ أَحْوَجُ إِلَى الْجَدِيدِ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَإِنَّمَا هَذَا لِلْمُهْلَةِ
Yahya ibn Sa'id said: It has reached me that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, said to Sayyida Aisha al-Siddiqa, may Allah be pleased with her, during his illness: "In how many garments was the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, shrouded?" Sayyida Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: "In three white garments of Sahul." Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "This garment that I am wearing has ochre or saffron on it, so wash it and use it along with the other garments to shroud me." Sayyida Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: "What is this (is there no other garment)?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The living have more need of clothing than the dead; the shroud is only for pus and blood."
