الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ - قَالَا:
خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَفِيهِ: وَمَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتًا، وَأَدَّى الْأَمَانَةَ فِيهِ، كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ مِنْهُ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ، وَرُفِعَ لَهُ بِهَا مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ: وَكَيْفَ يُؤَدِّي الْأَمَانَةَ فِيهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: يَسْتُرُ عَوْرَتَهُ، وَيَكْتُمُ شَيْنَهُ، فَإِنْ هُوَ لَمْ يَكْتُمْ شَيْنَهُ، وَلَمْ يَسْتُرْ عَوْرَتَهُ أَبْدَى اللهُ تَعَالَى عَوْرَتَهُ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ gave us a sermon and mentioned the hadith, and in it: "Whoever washes a deceased person and fulfills the trust in it, for every hair of it he will have the freeing of a slave, and a hundred degrees will be raised for him by it." Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ said: "How does he fulfill the trust in it, O Messenger of God?" He ﷺ said: "He covers his private parts and conceals his blemishes. If he does not conceal his blemishes and does not cover his private parts, God Almighty will expose his private parts before all creatures."
