حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُفِّنَ فِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سَحُولِيَّةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلاَ عِمَامَةٌ

in موطأ مالك, p. 481 - Dāraquṭnī
رواه هشام بن عروة واختلف عنه في متنه فرواه الدراوردي عن هشام عن أبيه عن عائشة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كفن في ثلاثة أثواب سحولية ولحد له ونصب عليه اللبن نصبا وخالفه جماعة من أصحاب هشام منهم الثوري وأبو ضمرة وعبيد الله بن عمرو الرقي وشعيب بن إسحاق وعبد الله بن نمير وعمر بن علي وأبو معاوية وزمعة بن صالح عن هشام ولم يذكروا فيه اللحد ولا اللبن تفرد بذلك الدراوردي عن هشام ورواه مكحول عن عروة عن عائشة ولم يذكر فيه أيضا اللحد ولا اللبن وهو المحفوظ عن هشام بن عروة
machine translationHishām b. ʿUrwah narrated it, and there is disagreement about him regarding its text (matn). Al-Darāwardī narrated it from Hishām, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah: that the Prophet ﷺ was shrouded in three Saḥūlī garments, and a niche-grave (laḥd) was dug for him and mud bricks were set up over him. A group of Hishām's students contradicted him, among them al-Thawrī, Abū Ḍamrah, ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAmr al-Raqqī, Shuʿayb b. Isḥāq, ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr, ʿUmar b. ʿAlī, Abū Muʿāwiyah and Zamʿah b. Ṣāliḥ, from Hishām; they did not mention in it the niche-grave or the mud bricks. Al-Darāwardī alone related that from Hishām. Makḥūl also narrated it from ʿUrwah, from ʿĀʾishah, and he too did not mention in it the niche-grave or the mud bricks. That is the preserved (maḥfūẓ) version from Hishām b. ʿUrwah.
