996. Hishām bin ‘Urwah narrated from his father that ‘Āishah said: “The Prophet ﷺ was shrouded in three white Yemeni cloths, there was no shirt nor turban among them.” He said: “So they mentioned the saying of the others to ‘Āishah, that there were two garments and a Habīr Burd.[1] She said: ‘A Burd was brought, but they refused it and they did not shroud him in it.’” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٩٩٦ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كُفِّنَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ» لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ. قَالَ: فَذَكَرُوا لِعَائِشَةَ قَوْلَهُمْ: فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَبُرْدٍ حِبَرَةٍ، فَقَالَتْ: قَدْ أُتِيَ بِالْبُرْدِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ رَدُّوهُ وَلَمْ يُكَفِّنُوهُ فِيهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Using three pieces of cloth for shroud is recommended. There should be no shirt in these three pieces, though the use of a shirt as a shroud is not prohibited or disapproved. The Prophet ﷺ gave a shirt to the son of ‘Abdullāh bin Ubayy to include it in the shroud. (Sharḥ Al-Muḥadhdhab. v. 5. p.193.)
