Sahih al-Bukhari 1304 (Book 23, Hadith 104)
(grave). He ordered (that he be taken out of the grave) and he was taken out. Then he placed him on
his knees and threw some of his saliva on him and clothed him in his (the Prophet’s) own shirt. Allah
knows better (why he did so). `Abdullah bin Ubai had given his shirt to Al-Abbas to wear. Abu Harun
said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) at that time had two shirts and the son of `Abdullah bin Ubai said to him, ‘O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Clothe my father in your shirt which has been in contact with your skin.’ ‘ Sufyan
added, “Thus people think that the Prophet (ﷺ) clothed `Abdullah bin Tubal in his shirt in lieu of what he
(Abdullah) had done (for Al `Abbas, the Prophet’s uncle.)”
Sahih al-Bukhari 1304 (Book 23, Hadith 104)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
