Hadith 2014
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قال : " جُعِلَ تَحْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ دُفِنَ قَطِيفَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:` "When the Messenger of Allah was buried, a red velvet cloak was placed beneath him."
Brief Explanation
1؎ : It is well-known that it was spread by some of the slaves of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) without informing the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum). Ibn Sa'd has transmitted in "Tabaqat" (2/299) the statement of Waki‘ that this is specific to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). And there is a narration from Hasan al-Basri that the ground was wet, so a red sheet was spread which he used to wear. And from Hasan al-Basri himself there is another narration in which it is stated «قال رسول+اللہ+صلی+اللہ+علیہ+وسلم افرشوا لي قطیفتي في لحدي ، فإن الأرض لم تسلط علی أجساد الأنبیائ» .
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The Sunnah shroud consists of three garments only. Nowadays, practice is also upon this. However, if an additional sheet is spread underneath, then according to this hadith, it is permissible. For further details, see: (Dhakheerat al-‘Uqba Sharh Sunan an-Nasa’i: 19/364–369)
