Um 'Atiyya (an Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) came to Basra to

giving bath to his (dead) daughter, he said: 'Wash her three times, five times or more, if you think it
necessary, with water and Sidr, and last of all put camphor, and when you finish, notify me.' " Um
'Atiyya added, "After finishing, we informed him and he gave us his waist sheet and told us to shroud
her in it and did not say more than that."

or (some camphor on her), and when you finish, notify me." So when we finished we informed him.
He gave his waist-sheet to us (to shroud her). We entwined the hair (of the deceased girl) in three
braids and made them fall at her back.

When `Abdullah bin Ubai (the chief of hypocrites) died, his son came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O
Allah's Messenger! Please give me your shirt to shroud him in it, offer his funeral prayer and ask for
Allah's forgiveness for him." So Allah's Messenger (p.b.u.h) gave his shirt to him and said, "Inform me
(When the funeral is ready) so that I may offer the funeral prayer." So, he informed him and when the
Prophet intended to offer the funeral prayer, `Umar took hold of his hand and said, "Has Allah not
forbidden you to offer the funeral prayer for the hypocrites? The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been given the
choice for Allah says: '(It does not avail) Whether you (O Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them
(hypocrites), or do not ask for forgiveness for them. Even though you ask for their forgiveness seventy
times, Allah will not forgive them. (9.80)" So the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer and on that the
revelation came: "And never (O Muhammad) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (i.e. hypocrites)
that dies." (9. 84)

Once the meal of `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf was brought in front of him, and he said, "Mus`ab bin
`Umair was martyred and he was better than I, and he had nothing except his Burd (a black square
narrow dress) to be shrouded in. Hamza or another person was martyred and he was also better than I
and he had nothing to be shrouded in except his Burd. No doubt, I fear that the rewards of my deeds
might have been given early in this world." Then he started weeping.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَكِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أُتِيَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَوْمًا بِطَعَامِهِ فَقَالَ قُتِلَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ ـ وَكَانَ خَيْرًا مِنِّي ـ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مَا يُكَفَّنُ فِيهِ إِلاَّ بُرْدَةٌ وَقُتِلَ حَمْزَةُ أَوْ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مَا يُكَفَّنُ فِيهِ إِلاَّ بُرْدَةٌ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ عُجِّلَتْ لَنَا طَيِّبَاتُنَا فِي حَيَاتِنَا الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَبْكِي
If there is nothing except one piece of cloth (for shrouding)

Once a meal was brought to `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf and he was fasting. He said, "Mustab bin
`Umar was martyred and he was better than I and was shrouded in his Burd and when his head was
covered with it, his legs became bare, and when his legs were covered his head got uncovered. Hamza
was martyred and was better than I. Now the worldly wealth have been bestowed upon us (or said a
similar thing). No doubt, I fear that the rewards of my deeds might have been given earlier in this
world." Then he started weeping and left his food.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ وَكَانَ صَائِمًا فَقَالَ قُتِلَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي كُفِّنَ فِي بُرْدَةٍ إِنْ غُطِّيَ رَأْسُهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلاَهُ وَإِنْ غُطِّيَ رِجْلاَهُ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ ـ وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ ـ وَقُتِلَ حَمْزَةُ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي ثُمَّ بُسِطَ لَنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا بُسِطَ ـ أَوْ قَالَ أُعْطِينَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا أُعْطِينَا ـ وَقَدْ خَشِينَا أَنْ تَكُونَ حَسَنَاتُنَا عُجِّلَتْ لَنَا ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَبْكِي حَتَّى تَرَكَ الطَّعَامَ
If sufficient cloth for the shroud is not available
Narrated Khabbab:
We emigrated with the Prophet (p.b.u.h) in Allah's cause, and so our reward was then surely
incumbent on Allah. Some of us died and they did not take anything from their rewards in this world,
and amongst them was Mustab bin `Umar; and the others were those who got their rewards. Mustab
bin `Umar was martyred on the day of the Battle of Uhud and we could get nothing except his Burd to
shroud him in. And when we covered his head his feet became bare and vice versa. So the Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered us to cover his head only and to put idhkhir (a kind of shrub) over his feet.

(if) somebody prepared his shroud (before his death)
Narrated Sahl:
A woman brought a woven Burda (sheet) having edging (border) to the Prophet, Then Sahl asked
them whether they knew what is Burda, they said that Burda is a cloak and Sahl confirmed their reply.
Then the woman said, "I have woven it with my own hands and I have brought it so that you may
wear it." The Prophet (ﷺ) accepted it, and at that time he was in need of it. So he came out wearing it as
his waist-sheet. A man praised it and said, "Will you give it to me? How nice it is!" The other people
said, "You have not done the right thing as the Prophet (ﷺ) is in need of it and you have asked for it when
you know that he never turns down anybody's request." The man replied, "By Allah, I have not asked
for it to wear it but to make it my shroud." Later it was his shroud.
