Aisha said, "I visited Abu Bakr, and he asked me, 'In how many garments did you shroud the Prophet ﷺ?'"She replied, "In three white Sahuli garments, with no shirt or turban among them."He then asked her, "On what day did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pass away?"She said, "On Monday."He asked, "What day is today?"She replied, "Monday."He said, "I hope it will be sometime between now and tonight."He looked at a garment he had been wearing during his illness, which had a stain of saffron on it, and said, "Wash this garment of mine, add two more to it, and shroud me in them."I said, "But this one is worn out."He replied, "The living have more right to new clothing than the dead. It is only for absorbing the bodily fluids."He did not pass away until the evening of Tuesday night, and he was buried before morning.
دخلت على أبي بكر فقال: في كم كفتم النبي ﷺ؟ قالت: في ثلاثة أثواب بيض سحولية ليس فيها قميص ولا عمامة، وقال لها: في أي يوم تو في رسول الله ﷺ؟ قالت: يوم الاثنين، قال: فأي يوم هذا؟ قالت: يوم الاثنين، قال: أرجو فيما بيني وبين الليلة، فنظر إلى ثوب عليه كان يمرض فيه، به ردع من زعفران فقال: اغسلوا ثوبي هذا، وزيدوا عليه ثوبين فكفنوني فيهما، قلت: إن هذا خلق، قال: إن الحي أحق بالجديد من الميت، إنما هو للمهلة، فلم يتوف حتى أمسى من ليلة الثلاثاء، ودفن، قبل أن يصبح.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Funerals (1387), from Mualla bin Assad, who said, Wahib told us, from Hisham, from his father, from Ayesha, and he mentioned it. Malik narrated it in the Book of Funerals (6), from Yahya bin Saeed, as a balagh, that Abu Bakr said to Ayesha, and he mentioned something similar, in a shortened form.As for his saying "for the pus," Ayyad said it has been transmitted with the mim pronounced with damma, fatha, and kasra. Ibn Habib said, with kasra it means pus and discharge, with fatha it means delaying or taking one's time, and with damma it means the sediment of oil. What is meant here is pus and discharge.
