Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ بَيْنَا رَجُلٌ وَاقِفٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِعَرَفَةَ إِذْ وَقَعَ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَوَقَصَتْهُ ـ أَوْ قَالَ فَأَقْعَصَتْهُ ـ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ اغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَكَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ ـ أَوْ قَالَ ثَوْبَيْهِ ـ وَلاَ تُحَنِّطُوهُ، وَلاَ تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُلَبِّي ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us; Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Amr ibn Dinar, from Said ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: A man was standing with the Prophet at Arafat when he fell from his mount, which crushed him — or, according to another wording, struck him down. The Prophet said: Wash him with water and lote leaves, and shroud him in two garments — or he said, in his two garments. Do not apply funeral perfume to him or cover his head, for Allah will raise him on the Day of Resurrection reciting the talbiyah.

Translation notes
  • Sidr refers to lote leaves used in washing.
