Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ خَيْرُ ثِيَابِكُمُ الْبَيَاضُ فَالْبَسُوهَا وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Muḥammad ibn al-Ṣabbāḥ narrated to us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Rajāʾ al-Makkī informed us, from Ibn Khuthaym, from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “The best of your garments are the white ones, so wear them and shroud your dead in them.”
