Washing the Dead According to Islamic Teachings

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed to wash a man who had been trampled by his mount with water and lotus leaves, and to shroud him in two clothes, leaving his head and face bare.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that: a man fell from his mount and it trampled him. The Messenger of Allah said: "Wash him with water and lotus leaves, and he should be shrouded in two clothes, leaving his head and face bare, for he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection reciting the Talbiyah".(sahih)
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بِشْرٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، وَقَعَ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَأَقْعَصَتْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ اغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَيُكَفَّنُ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ خَارِجًا رَأْسُهُ وَوَجْهُهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُلَبِّيًا
