Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ كُرْسُفٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلاَ عِمَامَةٌ فَذُكِرَ لِعَائِشَةَ قَوْلُهُمْ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَبُرْدٍ مِنْ حِبَرَةٍ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ أُتِيَ بِالْبُرْدِ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ رَدُّوهُ وَلَمْ يُكَفِّنُوهُ فِيهِ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Hafs narrated to us, from Hisham, from his father, from ‘A’ishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was shrouded in three white Yemeni cotton garments, with neither a shirt nor a turban among them. Someone mentioned to ‘A’ishah the claim that he had been shrouded in two garments and a hibarah cloak. She said: ‘The cloak was brought, but they returned it and did not shroud him in it.’

Translation notes
  • The term hibarah (بُرْدٍ مِنْ حِبَرَةٍ) is retained as the name of a type of patterned cloak.
