حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا أَجْمَعَ الْقَوْمُ لِغَسْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَلَيْسَ فِي الْبَيْتِ إِلَّا أَهْلُهُ: عَمُّهُ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَالْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ، وَقُثَمُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ، وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ، وَصَالِحٌ مَوْلَاهُ، فَلَمَّا [اجْتَمَعُوا لِغُسْلِهِ] نَادَى مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَابِ أَوْسُ بْنُ خَوْلِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، ثُمَّ أَحَدُ بَنِي عَوْفِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا، عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا عَلِيُّ، نَشَدْتُكَ اللهَ، وَحَظَّنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ: ادْخُلْ، فَدَخَلَ، فَحَضَرَ غَسْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَلَمْ يَلِ مِنْ غَسْلِهِ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: فَأَسْنَدَهُ [عَلِيٌّ ] إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ، وَكَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ، وَالْفَضْلُ، وَقُثَمُ يُقَلِّبُونَهُ مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَكَانَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَصَالِحٌ مَوْلَاهُمَا يَصُبَّانِ الْمَاءَ، وَجَعَلَ عَلِيٌّ يَغْسِلُهُ وَلَمْ يُرَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ [ ﷺ ] شَيْءٌ مِمَّا يُرَاهُ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي مَا أَطْيَبَكَ حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا ! حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغُوا مِنْ غَسْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَكَانَ يُغَسَّلُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالسِّدْرِ جَفَّفُوهُ، ثُمَّ صُنِعَ بِهِ مَا يُصْنَعُ بِالْمَيِّتِ، ثُمَّ أُدْرِجَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ: ثَوْبَيْنِ أَبْيَضَيْنِ، وَبُرْدِ حِبَرَةٍ، ثُمَّ دَعَا الْعَبَّاسُ رَجُلَيْنِ؛ فَقَالَ: لِيَذْهَبْ أَحَدُكُمَا إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ، وَكَانَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ يَضْرَحُ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، وَلْيَذْهَبِ الْآخَرُ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَلْحَدُ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ لَهُمَا حِينَ سَرَّحَهُمَا: اللَّهُمَّ خِرْ لِرَسُولِكَ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبَا، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ صَاحِبُ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ، وَوَجَدَ صَاحِبُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، فَجَاءَ بِهِ فَلَحَدَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ When the people gathered to wash the Messenger of Allah, there were only his family members in the house: his uncle Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, Ali ibn Abi Talib, al-Fadl ibn al-Abbas, Qutham ibn al-Abbas, Usama ibn Zaid ibn Haritha, and Salih, his slave. When they gathered to wash him, Aus ibn Khawli al-Ansari from behind the door called out. Then one of the Banu Awf ibn al-Khazraj, who was a Badri companion, said to Ali, "O Ali, I bear witness that we were blessed by the Messenger of Allah. Enter." So he entered and attended the washing of the Messenger of Allah and did not take part in washing him. He supported him against his chest, and his shirt was on him. Abbas, al-Fadl, and Qutham would turn him with Ali, and Usama ibn Zaid and Salih would pour water on him. The Messenger of Allah was not seen in any way that could be seen from a deceased person, and he would say, "By my father and mother, how pure you are, alive and dead!" When they finished washing the Messenger of Allah, who was washed with water and lotus leaves, they dried him and performed the customary actions done for the dead. Then he was wrapped in three garments: two white robes and a Burda Habra. Abbas called two men and said to them, "One of you should go to Abu Ubaida ibn al-Jarrah," who used to provide for the people of Mecca, "and the other should go to Abu Talha ibn Sahl al-Ansari," who used to provide for the people of Medina. Abbas said to them when Allah set them free, "May Allah grant your release to the sake of His Messenger." So they went but did not find the companion of Abu Ubaida, Abu Ubaida himself, and they found the companion of Abu Talha, Abu Talha himself. They brought him and he prepared the Messenger of Allah for burial.
