حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَي بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَرَادُوا غُسْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ، فَقَالُوا: وَاللهِ مَا نَدْرِي (١) كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ؟ أَنُجَرِّدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا نُجَرِّدُ مَوْتَانَا أَمْ نُغَسِّلُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ؟ قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا اخْتَلَفُوا أَرْسَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّنَةَ، حَتَّى وَاللهِ مَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ إِلَّا ذَقْنُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ نَائِمًا، قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ كَلَّمَهُمْ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ، لَا، ، يَدْرُونَ مَنْ هُوَ، فَقَالَ: " اغْسِلُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ ". قَالَتْ: فَثَارُوا إِلَيْهِ، " فَغَسَّلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي قَمِيصِهِ يُفَاضُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ وَالسِّدْرُ، وَيُدَلِّكُهُ الرِّجَالُ بِالْقَمِيصِ "، وَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ: لَوْ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا نِسَاؤُهُ (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the people intended to give Ghusl (ritual bath) to the Prophet (ﷺ), there arose a difference of opinion among the people and they began to say, "By Allah! We do not understand what to do. Should we remove the clothes from the body of the Prophet (ﷺ) like ordinary men, or should we give him Ghusl with his clothes on?" Meanwhile, Allah caused drowsiness to overcome them, and by Allah, there was not a single man whose chin did not fall upon his chest and who did not fall asleep. Then, from a corner of the house, a voice was heard from someone whose identity they did not know, and he said, "Give the Prophet (ﷺ) Ghusl with his clothes on." So the people advanced and began to give the Prophet (ﷺ) Ghusl with his clothes on, and water mixed with lote leaves was poured over the blessed body, and the body was rubbed over the shirt itself. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says, "If I had understood earlier what I understood later, then only the pure wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) would have given him Ghusl."
