Sahih al-Bukhari, 1387

Rapporté par le père de Hicham : `Aïcha a dit : « Je suis allée voir Abou Bakr (pendant sa maladie mortelle) et il m’a demandé : “Dans combien de vêtements le Prophète (ﷺ) a-t-il été enveloppé ?” J’ai répondu : “Dans trois pièces de tissu blanc de coton de Suhoul, sans chemise ni turban.” Abou Bakr a demandé : “Quel jour le Prophète est-il mort ?” J’ai répondu : “Il est mort un lundi.” Il a demandé : “Quel jour sommes-nous ?” J’ai répondu : “Nous sommes lundi.” Il a ajouté : “J’espère mourir entre ce matin et ce soir.” Puis il a regardé le vêtement qu’il portait, taché de safran, et a dit : “Lavez ce vêtement et ajoutez-en deux autres pour m’envelopper.” J’ai dit : “Celui-ci est usé.” Il a dit : “Un vivant a plus besoin de vêtements neufs qu’un mort ; le linceul sert juste à absorber les sécrétions du corps.” Il n’est pas mort avant la nuit du mardi et a été enterré avant le matin. »

Narrated Hisham's father:Aisha said, "I went to Abu Bakr (during his fatal illness) and he asked me, 'In how many garments was the Prophet (ﷺ) shrouded?' She replied, 'In three Suhuliya pieces of white cloth of cotton, and there was neither a shirt nor a turban among them.' Abu Bakr further asked her, 'On which day did the Prophet die?' She replied, 'He died on Monday.' He asked, 'What is today?' She replied, 'Today is Monday.' He added, 'I hope I shall die sometime between this morning and tonight.' Then he looked at a garment that he was wearing during his illness and it had some stains of saffron. Then he said, 'Wash this garment of mine and add two more garments and shroud me in them.' I said, 'This is worn out.' He said, 'A living person has more right to wear new clothes than a dead one; the shroud is only for the body's pus.' He did not die till it was the night of Tuesday and was buried before the morning
