English translation

3238. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Dīnār, from Sa'eed bin Jubair, from Ibn 'Abbās who said: "A man's she-camel had thrown him, and his neck was broken, and he died while he was in Iḥrām; he was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'Shroud him in his two garments and wash him with water and lote leaves, but do not cover his head, for Allāh will raise him on the Day of Resurrection reciting the Talbiyah.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: I heard Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal say: "There are five Sunnahs in this Hadīth: 'Shroud him in his two garments,' meaning, the deceased should be shrouded in two cloths; 'wash him with water and lote leaves," meaning, there should be lote leaves in every washing; 'do not cover his head and do not bring any perfume near him.' And the shroud is from his own wealth.

3238 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ وَقَصَتْهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ، فَمَاتَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، فَقَالَ: «كَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْهِ، وَاغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُلَبِّي»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: سَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ، يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: " خَمْسُ سُنَنٍ، كَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْهِ: أَيْ يُكَفَّنُ الْمَيِّتُ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ، وَاغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ: أَيْ إِنَّ فِي الْغَسْلَاتِ كُلِّهَا سِدْرًا، وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ وَلَا تُقَرِّبُوهُ طِيبًا، وَكَانَ الْكَفَنُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَالِ "،
