The reciter: And Ali ibn Hujr al-Sa'di narrated to me, Ali ibn Mughirah informed us, Hisham ibn Urwah narrated to us from his father, from Aisha, who said:
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was wrapped in a Yamani wrapper which belonged to 'Abdullah b Abu Bakr; then it was removed from him, and he was shrouded in three cotton sheets of white Yamani stuff from Sahul among which was neither a shirt nor a turban. 'Abdullah took up the Hullah and said: I would be shrouded in it, but then said: How is it that I should be shrouded in it in which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was not shrouded! So he gave it in charity. أُدْرِجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حُلَّةٍ يَمَنِيَّةٍ كَانَتْ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ نُزِعَتْ عَنْهُ، وَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بيض سُحُولٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ، لَيْسَ فِيهَا عِمَامَةٌ، وَلَا قَمِيصٌ، فَرَفَعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْحُلَّةَ، فَقَالَ: أُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَمْ يُكَفَّنْ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا، فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا
Sahih Muslim 941b


The Shaykh : Now the matter is clear. This cloak belonged to Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr, and the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) was wrapped in it as his shroud. Then it occurred to the Companions who took charge of his affairs to remove it from him and shroud him in these three garments. Then it was returned to Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he intended to use it as his shroud, but he turned away from that because Allah the Exalted did not choose it for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and because after he was wrapped in it, it was made easy for them to remove it, so he (may Allah be pleased with him) left it.
