989. Al-Qāsim bin Muḥammad narrated from ‘Āishah: “The Prophet ﷺ kissed ‘Uthmān bin Maz‘ūn when he died, and he was crying.” Or, he (one of the narrators) said: “His eyes were brimming with tears.” (Da’if) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn ‘Abbās, Jābir, and ‘Āishah, they said that Abū Bakr kissed the Prophet ﷺ when he died.” Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadith of ‘Āishah is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
٩٨٩ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؛ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبَّلَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ» وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ، وَهُوَ يَبْكِي، أَوْ قَالَ: عَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَعَائِشَةَ - قَالُوا: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَبَّلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ. حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

A Muslim is chaste, pure and clean during his life, and remains in the same state after his death. It is agreed upon that out of love and out of honor, kissing a deceased person is allowed as Abū Bakr kissed the Prophet ﷺ when he died and no one objected to his action.
