حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَيْرُ ثِيَابِكُمُ الْبَيَاضُ فَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ وَالْبَسُوهَا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “The best of your garments are those which are white, so shroud your dead in them, and wear them.”

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমাদের কাপড়সমূহের মধ্যে সাদা কাপড়ই অধিক উত্তম। অতএব তোমরা তোমাদের মৃতদের সাদা কাপড়ে কাফন দাও এবং তোমরাও সাদাকাপড় পরিধান করো।

عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تمہارے کپڑوں میں سب سے بہتر سفید کپڑا ہے، لہٰذا تم اپنے مردوں کو اسی میں کفناؤ، اور اسی کو پہنو ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ash Shabbah] berkata, telah memberitakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Raja` Al Makki] dari [Abdullah bin Utsman bin Khutsaim] dari [Sa'id bin Jubair] dari [Ibnu Abbas] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sebaik-baik pakaian kalian adalah putih, kafanilah mayat kalian dengan warna itu, dan kenakanlah

İbn-i Abbas (r.a.)'dan rivayet edildiğine göre: Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurdu, demiştir : «Elbiselerinizin en hayırlısı beyaz olanıdır. Bunun için ölülerinizi beyaz elbise içinde kefenleyiniz ve beyaz elbise giyiniz.»

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.
