وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -قَالَ: { الْبَسُوا مِنْ ثِيَابِكُمُ الْبَيَاضَ, فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خَيْرِ ثِيَابِكُمْ, وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ } رَوَاهُ اَلْخَمْسَةُ إِلَّا النَّسَائِيَّ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ 1 .1 - صحيح. رواه أحمد (3426)، وأبو داود (4061)، والترمذي (994)، وابن ماجه (3566). وقال الترمذي: "حسن صحيح".
Ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Wear white garments, for they are among the best of your garments, and shroud your dead in them. Reported by the five, except al-Nasai; al-Tirmidhi graded it sound.
Al-Tirmidhi said: Hasan sahih. Reported by Ahmad (3426), Abu Dawud (4061), al-Tirmidhi (994), and Ibn Majah (3566).
