3114. It was narrated from Abū Salamah that when Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī was dying, he called for new clothes and put them on, then he said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'The deceased will be resurrected in the clothes in which he died.'" (Hasan)
3114 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ لَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ، دَعَا بِثِيَابٍ جُدُدٍ فَلَبِسَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُبْعَثُ فِي ثِيَابِهِ الَّتِي يَمُوتُ فِيهَا»

The hallmark of a believer is that he loves to remain clean and pure. Allāh too loves those who cleanse and purify themselves. It is, therefore, only appropriate that both the body and the dress of the Muslim in his last journey, leading up to his meeting with Allāh, are in their best state of cleanliness and purity.
