اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ الْحَجَّاجِ حَدَّثَهُمْ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامُ بْنُ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَزَّارِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ وَلِيَ غُسْلَ مَيِّتٍ فَأَدَّى فِيهِ الْأَمَانَةَ، يَعْنِي: يَسْتُرُ مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، كَانَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ " قَالَتْ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لِيَلِهِ أَقْرَبُكُمْ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَرَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ تَدْرُونَ أَنَّ عِنْدَهُ وَرَعًا وَأَمَانَةً ".
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever takes charge of washing a deceased person should fulfil the trust in it, that is, conceal whatever there is in it; he will become as pure of his sins as though his mother had given birth to him today." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one in charge of it should be his closest relative, if he knows (how); if his closest relative does not know, then someone about whom you know that he will take care of the trust."
