It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the people intended to give Ghusl (ritual bath) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there arose a difference of opinion among the people and they began to say, "By Allah! We do not understand what to do. Should we remove the clothes from the body of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) like ordinary men, or should we give him Ghusl with his clothes on?" Meanwhile, Allah caused drowsiness to overcome them, and by Allah, there was not a single man whose chin did not fall upon his chest and who did not fall asleep. Then, from a corner of the house, a voice was heard from someone whose identity they did not know, and he said, "Give the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Ghusl with his clothes on." So the people advanced and began to give the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Ghusl with his clothes on, and water mixed with lote leaves was poured over the blessed body, and the body was rubbed over the shirt itself. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says, "If I had understood earlier what I understood later, then only the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have given him Ghusl."
