حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَصَتْهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَاتَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُلَبِّي ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ:‏‏‏‏ خَمْسُ سُنَنٍ كَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَيْ يُكَفَّنُ الْمَيِّتُ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَاغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَيْ إِنَّ فِي الْغَسَلَاتِ كُلِّهَا سِدْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تُقَرِّبُوهُ طِيبًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ الْكَفَنُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَالِ.

To the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was brought man wearing ihram who was thrown by his she-camel and has his neck broken and had died. He then said: Shroud him in his two garments, was him with water and lotus leaves, but do not cover his head, for he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection saying the talbiyah. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: There are five rules of the law (sunan) in this tradition: Shroud him in his two garment, that is, the dead should be shrouded in his two garments. Wash him with water and lotus leaves, that is, washing all times should be with lotus leaves. Do not bring any perfume near him. The shroud will be made from the property (of the dead).
