حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْأَعْرَجُ جَابِرٌ السَّمْتِيُّ قَالَ: نَا خَلَفُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: نَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ. عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ
أَنَّ ابْنَةً لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تُوُفِّيَتْ، وَكَانُوا يَحْمِلُونَ الرِّجَالَ وَالنِّسَاءَ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ سَوَاءً، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ بِالْحَبَشَةِ، وَهُمْ نَصَارَى أَهْلُ كِتَابٍ، وَهُمْ يَجْعَلُونَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ نَعْشًا فَوْقَهُ أَضْلَاعٌ، يَكْرَهُونَ أَنْ يُوصَفَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَلْقِهَا، أَفَلَا أَجْعَلُ لِابْنَتِكَ نَعْشًا مِثْلَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ: " اجْعَلِيهِ "، فَهِيَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ جَعَلَ نَعْشًا انْتُعِشَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لِرُقَيَّةَ ابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ

✧ A daughter of the Messenger of God ﷺ passed away, and they used to carry men and women on biers alike. So I said: O Messenger of God, I was in Abyssinia, and they are Christians, People of the Book, and they make for a woman a coffin above which are ribs, disliking that anything of her form be described. Shall I make for your daughter a coffin like it? He said: "Make it." So she is the first for whom a coffin was made and used in Islam — for Ruqayyah, daughter of the Messenger of God.
