2858. It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbâs said: “While a man was standing in ‘Arafat with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, he fell from his mount and it killed him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘Wash him with water and lotus leaves, and shroud him in two cloths. Do not apply aromatics to him or cover his head, for Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, will raise him on the Day of Resurrection reciting the Talbiyah.”’ (Sahîh)

Arabic text

2855 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا رَجُلٌ وَاقِفٌ بِعَرَفَةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ وَقَعَ مِنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَأَقْعَصَهُ - أَوْ قَالَ فَأَقْعَصَتْهُ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَكَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ، وَلَا تُحَنِّطُوهُ، وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَبْعَثُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُلَبِّيًا»

Commentary

Since Hanû is a kind of fragrance, or for that matter any kind of fragrance, it may not be applied to the deceased Muhrim or his shroud, so that reverence for his Ihrâm is perpetuated. even fragrant soap should not be used.
