What Should Be Done With The Muhrim If He Dies?
Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، وَأَيُّوبَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، نَحْوَهُ قَالَ " وَكَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ " ثَوْبَيْهِ " . وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو " ثَوْبَيْنِ " . وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ " فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ " . وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو " فِي ثَوْبَيْهِ " . زَادَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَحْدَهُ " وَلاَ تُحَنِّطُوهُ " .
A similar tradition has also been narrated by Ibn 'Abbas through a different chain of narrators. This version has: "Shroud him in two garments." Abu Dawud said: The narrator Sulaiman said the Ayyub said: "his two garments," 'Amr said: "tow garments," Ibn 'Ubaid said that Ayyub said: "in two garments" and Amr said: "in his two garments." Sulaiman alone added: "do not put any perfume on him."
