Those who undertook the washing of the Messenger
جَهَازُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَدَفْنُهُ [ مَنْ تَوَلَّى غُسْلَ الرَّسُولِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا بُويِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ، أَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ عَلَى جَهَازِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ، فَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَغَيْرُهُمَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا: أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَالْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَالْفَضْلَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ، وَقُثَمَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ، وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، وَشُقْرَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، هُمْ الَّذِينَ وُلُوا غَسْلَهُ، وَأَنَّ أَوْسَ بْنَ خَوْلِيٍّ. أَحَدَ بَنِي عَوْفِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، قَالَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ يَا عَلِيُّ وَحَظَّنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَكَانَ أَوْسُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، قَالَ: اُدْخُلْ، فَدَخَلَ فَجَلَسَ، وَحَضَرَ غَسْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَأَسْنَدَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إلَى صَدْرِهِ، وَكَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ وَالْفَضْلُ وَقُثَمُ يُقَلِّبُونَهُ مَعَهُ، وَكَانَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَشُقْرَانُ مَوْلَاهُ، هُمَا اللَّذَانِ يَصُبَّانِ الْمَاءَ عَلَيْهِ، وَعَلِيٌّ يُغَسِّلُهُ، قَدْ أَسْنَدَهُ إلَى صَدْرِهِ، وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُهُ يُدَلِّكُهُ بِهِ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، لَا يُفْضَى بِيَدِهِ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَعَلِيٌّ يَقُولُ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، مَا أَطْيَبَكَ حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا وَلَمْ يُرَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا يُرَى مِنْ الْمَيِّتِ
Translation
✧ The equipment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his burial [Those who took charge of washing the Messenger] Ibn Ishaq said: When Abu Bakr ؓ was given the oath of allegiance, the people turned to the equipment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on Tuesday. Abdullah b. Abi Bakr and Husayn b. Abdullah and others of our companions related to me: That Ali b. Abi Talib, al-Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib, al-Fadl b. al-Abbas, Qutham b. al-Abbas, Usamah b. Zayd, and Shuqran, the freedman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, were the ones who took charge of washing him; and that Aws b. Khawli, one of the Banu Awf b. al-Khazraj, said to Ali b. Abi Talib: 'I adjure you by Allah, O Ali, and by our share of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' Aws was one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and of the people of Badr. He said: 'Enter.' So he entered and sat down, and was present at the washing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ali b. Abi Talib leaned him against his chest, and al-Abbas, al-Fadl, and Qutham turned him over with him. Usamah b. Zayd and Shuqran, his freedman, were the two who poured the water over him, while Ali washed him, having leaned him against his chest. He had on his shirt, and he rubbed him with it from behind, not touching the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his bare hand. Ali was saying: 'May my father and mother be your ransom, how sweet you are alive and dead.' And nothing was seen of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that is seen of a dead person.
