حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ،، ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، قَالَ لَهَا: فِي أَيِّ يَوْمٍ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَتْ: " فِي يَوْمِ الِاثْنَيْنِ "، فَقَالَ: مَا شَاءَ اللهُ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ اللَّيْلِ، قَالَ: فَفِيمَ كَفَّنْتُمُوهُ؟ قَالَتْ: " فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ، لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ، وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ "، وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: انْظُرِي ثَوْبِي هَذَا فِيهِ رَدْعُ زَعْفَرَانٍ، أَوْ مِشْقٌ، فَاغْسِلِيهِ، وَاجْعَلِي مَعَهُ ثَوْبَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: " يَا أَبَتِ هُوَ خَلِقٌ "، قَالَ: إِنَّ الْحَيَّ أَحَقُّ بِالْجَدِيدِ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمُهْلَةِ، وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَعْطَاهُمْ حُلَّةً حِبَرَةً فَأُدْرِجَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْهَا، فَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْحُلَّةَ، فَقَالَ: لَأُكَفِّنَنَّ نَفْسِي فِي شَيْءٍ مَسَّ جِلْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ: وَاللهِ لَا أُكَفِّنُ نَفْسِي فِي شَيْءٍ مَنَعَهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُكَفَّنَ فِيهِ، فَمَاتَ لَيْلَةَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ، وَدُفِنَ لَيْلًا وَمَاتَتْ عَائِشَةُ، فَدَفَنَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ لَيْلًا (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to feel heavy in illness, he asked, "What day is it today?" We told him it was Monday. He asked, "On which day did the Prophet (ﷺ) pass away?" We told him, "On Monday." He said, "Then I also hope for the same tonight." He asked, "In what was the Prophet (ﷺ) shrouded?" We told him, "In three white Yemeni Sahuli sheets, in which there was neither a shirt nor a turban." She says that there was a cloth on the body of Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) which had stains of ochre color. He said, "When I die, wash this cloth of mine and, along with two new clothes, shroud me in three clothes." We said, "Why don't we take all new clothes?" He said, "No, these are only for a short while." And Abdullah bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him a striped Yemeni sheet, in which the Prophet (ﷺ) was wrapped. Then the people took out that sheet and shrouded the Prophet (ﷺ) in three sheets. Abdullah took his sheet back and said, "I will include this sheet in my shroud, which touched the body of the Prophet (ﷺ)." But after some time, he thought, "I will not include in my shroud that which Allah did not allow to be included in the shroud of His Prophet (ﷺ)." Anyway! He passed away on the night of Tuesday, and he was buried the same night. Similarly, when Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away, Abdullah bin Zubair buried her at night as well.
