Arabic hadith text
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَفَّنَ ابْنَهُ وَاقِدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمَاتَ بِالْجُحْفَةِ مُحْرِمًا وَخَمَّرَ رَأْسَهُ وَوَجْهَهُ وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ لَطَيَّبْنَاهُ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَإِنَّمَا يَعْمَلُ الرَّجُلُ مَا دَامَ حَيًّا فَإِذَا مَاتَ فَقَدِ انْقَضَى الْعَمَلُ .
Translation
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarshrouded his son Waqid ibn Abdullah, who had died at al-Juhfa while inihram, and he veiled his head and face and said, "If we had not beenin ihram we would have perfumed him. "
Malik said, "A man canonly do things while he is alive. When he is dead, his actions stop."
