It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The believer dies with sweat on his forehead." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kissed Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) after he had died, while he (the Prophet) was weeping (in grief). The narrator said: tears were flowing from his blessed eyes. This hadith is widely circulated and accepted among the Imams, but the two Shaykhs did not use Asim bin Ubaydullah as evidence, while its well-known authentic supporting narration (shahid) is reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah and Sayyidah Aishah, that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) kissed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after he had passed away.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best of perfumes is musk."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about musk, and he said: "It is the best of your perfumes." This hadith has an authentic chain, because Khulayd bin Ja'far and al-Mustamirr bin al-Rayyan are counted among the reliable (thiqah) narrators, although the two Shaykhs did not narrate from them. It has a supporting narration (shahid) from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) as well, and this is also the position of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal:

Abu Wa'il narrates that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had some musk, and he left instructions that he should be embalmed with it (hanut, the perfume for the deceased). And Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that it was what remained of the hanut of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is reported from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the people began to wash the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a caller called out to them from inside: "Do not take off the shirt of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it, and the Abu Burdah among these narrators is in fact Burayd bin Abdullah bin Abi Burdah bin Abi Musa al-Ash'ari, who is a principal narrator of the two Sahihs.

Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I washed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I wanted to see what (traces) occur with a deceased person, but I did not see anything of the kind. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was pure and fragrant both in his life and in his death. The honour of burying him and lowering him into the grave fell, rather than to the people at large, to these four: Ali, Abbas, Fadl and Salih, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them). A niche grave (lahd) was prepared for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and unbaked bricks (labin) were set upright over it. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they recorded only the part about the lahd from it.

Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever washes a deceased person and conceals (his faults), Allah Almighty will forgive him forty times; whoever shrouds a deceased person, Allah Almighty will clothe him in garments of the fine and thick silk of Paradise; and whoever digs a grave for a deceased person and buries him in it, a reward will be kept flowing for him until the Day of Resurrection, as though he had given him a house to live in." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is reported from Sayyiduna Malik bin Hubayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever a funeral was brought to him and those attending were few, he would arrange them into three rows, then lead the funeral prayer over it, and he would say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whichever Muslim has three rows formed at his funeral, (Paradise) becomes obligatory for him." The wording of Ibn Ulayyah's narration is "awjabathu" (it made it obligatory), while in al-Mahbubi's narration the wording is "illa ghufira lahu" (except that he is forgiven). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He fell ill, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to visit him and said: "Say: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and (say about me) that you are the Messenger of Allah." The boy looked at his father, and the father said: "Accept what Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is saying." When the boy died (after reciting the testimony), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer the funeral prayer over this brother of yours." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
