1900. Hishâm narrated from his father, from 'Aishah that the
Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was shrouded in three white Yemeni garments of cotton, among which was no shirt and no turban. It was mentioned to 'Āishah that they said: "He was buried in two garments and a Burd made of Hibrah." She said: "A Burd was brought, but they sent it back and did not shroud him in it." (Sahīh)
