Hadith 241

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Abu Bakr Al Shirazi in his book, from Al-Hassan Al Basri who said, ‘Ali-asws bequeathed to Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws during his-asws death and said to them-asws: ‘If I-asws were to die, you-asws will be finding by my-asws head, embalmment from the Paradise, and three shrouds from the brocade of the Paradise. Then wash me-asws and embalm me-asws with the embalmment and enshroud me-asws’. Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘We-asws found a plate of gold by his-asws head, upon it were five pieces of camphor of Paradise, and a lotus from the lotuses of Paradise. When they-asws were free from washing him-asws and enshrouding him-asws, the camel came, and they carried him-asws upon the camel due to a bequest from him, and he-asws had said: ‘The camel would be coming to my-asws grave and would be pausing at it’. The camel came until it paused at the edge of the grave. By Allah-azwj! I do not know of anyone having dug it. He-asws was entombed in it after Salat having been prayed upon him-asws, and a white cloud had shaded the people, and white birds. When he-asws he had been buried, the cloud and the birds went away’’. [49]
And from Mansour Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from his father, from his grandfather, ‘Zayd son of Ali-asws (Bin Al-Husayn-asws), from his father-asws, from his grandfather-asws Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, in a lengthy Hadeeth mentioning in it, ‘I-asws am bequeathing to you-asws both a bequest, so do not reveal my-asws matter to anyone’. He-asws instructed them-asws to bring out a tablet from the right corner and enshroud him-asws in what they find. So, when they-asws had washed him-asws, they-asws placed him-asws upon that tablet, and then they-asws found the bier, its front part rising. They-asws raised its rear. And (instructed) that Al-Hassan-asws should pray Salat once, and Al-Husayn-asws once, Salat of the Imam-asws like what was the ritual. They-asws found the tablet, and upon it was written: “In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is what the Prophet Noah-as, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-as, has kept for Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws”. And they-asws found the shroud in the passageway of the house. Embalmment was placed in it, emitting its light at daytime’’. [50]
