حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا قُلْنَا يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ قَالَ فَأَيُّ يَوْمٍ قُبِضَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قُلْنَا قُبِضَ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ فِيهِ رَدْعٌ مِنْ مِشْقٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَاغْسِلُوا ثَوْبِي هَذَا وَضُمُّوا إِلَيْهِ ثَوْبَيْنِ جَدِيدَيْنِ فَكَفِّنُونِي فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ فَقُلْنَا أَفَلَا نَجْعَلُهَا جُدُدًا كُلَّهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمُهْلَةِ قَالَتْ فَمَاتَ لَيْلَةَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Aisha said: "When Abu Bakr became seriously ill, he asked: 'What day is this?' They said: 'Monday.' He said: 'What day did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) die?' They said: 'He died on Monday.' He said: 'I hope (to die) between now and tonight.' He was wearing a garment stained with saffron. He said: 'When I die, wash this garment of mine and add two new garments to it, and shroud me in three garments.' We said: 'Should we not make them all new?' He said: 'No, the living person is more in need of new clothes (than the dead). This is only for the body's fluids.' She said: 'He died on Tuesday night.'"
