English translation

[2179] 45 - (941) It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was shrouded in three Sahūlī garments made of cotton, among which there was no shirt nor turban. As for the Hullah,[1] there is some confusion about it in people's minds. It was bought for him to be shrouded in, but the Hullah was left and he was shrouded in three Sahūlī garments. 'Abdullāh bin Abī Bakr took it and said: 'I will keep it so that I may be shrouded in it myself.' Then he said: 'If Allāh had approved of it for His Prophet, he would have been shrouded in it.' So he sold it and gave its price in charity."

45 - (941) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى -، قَالَ يَحْيَى: أَخْبَرَنَا، وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سَحُولِيَّةٍ، مِنْ كُرْسُفٍ، لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ، وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ، أَمَّا الْحُلَّةُ، فَإِنَّمَا شُبِّهَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِيهَا، أَنَّهَا اشْتُرِيَتْ لَهُ لِيُكَفَّنَ فِيهَا، فَتُرِكَتِ الْحُلَّةُ، وَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سَحُولِيَّةٍ» فَأَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَقَالَ: " لَأَحْبِسَنَّهَا حَتَّى أُكَفِّنَ فِيهَا نَفْسِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَوْ رَضِيَهَا اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ لَكَفَّنَهُ فِيهَا، فَبَاعَهَا وَتَصَدَّقَ بِثَمَنِهَا "
