حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْبَسُوا مِنْ ثِيَابِكُمُ الْبَيَاضَ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خَيْرِ ثِيَابِكُمْ وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ وَإِنَّ خَيْرَ أَكْحَالِكُمُ الإِثْمِدُ يَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ وَيُنْبِتُ الشَّعْرَ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Wear your white garments, for they are among your best garments, and shroud your dead in them. Among the best types of collyrium you use is antimony (ithmid): it clears the vision and makes the hair sprout.

ইবনু আব্বাস (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা সাদা কাপড় পরিধান করো এবং তা দিয়ে তোমাদের মৃতদের কাফন পরাও; কেননা তা তোমাদের উত্তম পোশাক। আর তোমাদের জন্য উত্তম সুরমা হলো ‘ইসমিদ’ সুরমা; কারণ তা দৃষ্টিশক্তি বাড়ায় এবং চোখের পাতার চুল গজায়।[1] সহীহ।

عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تم سفید رنگ کے کپڑے پہنا کرو کیونکہ یہ تمہارے کپڑوں میں سب سے بہتر کپڑا ہے، اور اسی میں اپنے مردوں کو کفنایا کرو، اور تمہارے سرموں میں سب سے اچھا اثمد ہے، وہ روشنی بڑھاتا اور ( پلک کے ) بالوں کو اگاتا ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Yunus] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Utsman bin Khutsaim] dari [Sa'id bin Jubair] dari [Ibnu Abbas] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Pakailah pakaian yang putih, sebab ia adalah sebaik-baik pakaian kalian, dan kafanilah jenazah kalian dengannya.

Sesungguhnya sebaik-baik celak kalian adalah itsmid (sejenis tumbuhan), itsmid dapat mempertajam pandangan dan menumbuhkan rambut

İbn Abbas (r.a)'dan rivayet olunduğuna göre; Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurmuştur: "Beyaz elbise giyiniz. Çünkü beyaz elbise, elbiselerinizin en hayırlılarındandır. Ölülerinizi de beyaz kumaşlarla kefenleyiniz. Sürmelerinizin en hayırlısı ismid (denilen sürme taşı) dır. O gözün nurunu artırır, kirpikleri kuvvetlendirir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) instructs men to wear white clothes and to shroud the deceased in it, as it is among the best of garments.

What it teaches

  • It is recommended to wear a white garment, though other colors are permissible.
  • It is recommended to shroud the deceased in white.
  • Ash-Shawkāni said: The Hadīth indicates the permissibility of wearing white and shrouding the deceased in it, as it is purer than other colors and more pleasant. As for it being more pleasant, this is obvious, and as for it being purer, it is because any impurity that falls on it is more apparent, making it preferable.
