أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ التَّرْقُفِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِي، ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنِي شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ عُلَيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رَافِعٍ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
مَنْ غَسَّلَ مُسْلِمًا، فَكَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ، غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ مَرَّةً، وَمَنْ حَفَرَ لَهُ، فَأَجَنَّهُ، أُجْرِيَ عَلَيْهِ كَأَجْرِ مَسْكَنٍ أَسْكَنَهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ كَفَّنَهُ كَسَاهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ سُنْدُسِ وَإِسْتَبْرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ

Whoever washes a Muslim [after death] and conceals [what he sees of him], Allah will forgive him forty times. Whoever digs a grave for him and buries him in it, the reward of a dwelling in which he has housed him will continue to be granted to him until the Day of Resurrection. And whoever shrouds him, Allah will clothe him on the Day of Resurrection in the fine silk (sundus) and brocade (istabraq) of Paradise.
