Shrouding the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was shrouded with three garments of Sahul when he passed away.

Abu Salama said: I asked 'A'isha with how many garments the Messenger of Allah was shrouded. She said: With three garments of Sahul.
وَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا فِي كَمْ كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ فِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ سَحُولِيَّةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
When the Prophet Muhammad passed away, his companions shrouded him in three garments of Sahul. This is a sign of respect and reverence for the beloved prophet. It is also a reminder to us that we should treat our deceased with respect and dignity as well. The burial process for Muslims includes washing the body, shrouding it in white cloths, and burying it in a grave without any kind of coffin or box. This was done to show that all people are equal before death regardless of their social status or wealth while alive.
