Translation

Ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet ﷺ said about a man who fell from his mount and died: “Wash him with water and lote leaves, and shroud him in two garments.” Agreed upon. Al-Bukhari (1265) and Muslim (1206). The full wording continues: “Do not perfume him or cover his head, for Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Resurrection reciting the talbiyah.” Another version says: “Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Resurrection while he is reciting the talbiyah.”
