Sahih Muslim 941b (Book 11, Hadith 58) #9328
Respect for the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was wrapped in a Yamani wrapper belonging to Abdullah b Abu Bakr, and then it was removed from him and he was shrouded in three cotton sheets of white Yamani stuff. Abdullah wanted to be shrouded in the same cloth but decided against it out of respect for the Prophet.

'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah 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 was not shrouded! So he gave it in charity.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أُدْرِجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي حُلَّةٍ يَمَنِيَّةٍ كَانَتْ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ نُزِعَتْ عَنْهُ وَكُفِّنَ فِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سُحُولٍ يَمَانِيَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا عِمَامَةٌ وَلاَ قَمِيصٌ فَرَفَعَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْحُلَّةَ فَقَالَ أُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَمْ يُكَفَّنْ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا ‏.‏ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the respect that should be given to the Prophet Muhammad. It is narrated by A'isha, who reported that when the Messenger of Allah passed away, he was wrapped in a Yamani wrapper which belonged to Abdullah b Abu Bakr. After this, it was removed from him and he was instead shrouded in three cotton sheets of white Yamani stuff from Sahul. When Abdullah saw this cloth, he wanted to use it as his own shroud but then realized that if he did so, it would not be respectful towards the Messenger of Allah since he himself had not been shrouded with it. Therefore, out of respect for him, Abdullah decided against using this cloth and instead gave it away as charity. This hadith teaches us about how we should show respect towards our beloved prophet by following his example and giving charity whenever possible.
