وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ، عَنْ عُدَيْسَةَ بِنْتِ أُهْبَانَ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، قَالَتْ:
جِئْتُ حِينَ حَضَرَ أَبِي الْوَفَاةُ، فَقَالَ: لَا تُكَفِّنُونَنِي فِي قَمِيصٍ مَخِيطٍ. قَالُوا: لَا بُدَّ، فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى الْقَصَّارِ، وَلِأَبِي قَمِيصٌ فِي الْقِصَارَةِ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ، فَأُلْبِسَ، وَذُهِبَ بِهِ، فَأَغْلَقْتُ بَابِي وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ، وَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِي، فَوَجَدْتُ الْقَمِيصَ فِي الْبَيْتِ، فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى الَّذِينَ غَسَّلُوا أَبِي فَقُلْتُ: كَفَّنْتُمُوهُ فِي قَمِيصِهِ. قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: هُوَ هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ

✧ I came when my father was dying, and he said: "Do not shroud me in a sewn shirt." They said: "It is necessary." So I sent to the fuller, and my father had a shirt at the fuller's. It was brought, and he was dressed in it, and it was taken away. I locked my door and followed it, then returned to my house and found the shirt in the house. I sent to those who washed my father and said: "Did you shroud him in his shirt?" They said: "Yes." I said: "Is it this one?" They said: "Yes."
